PSSM1

SUPER DISAPPOINTED... MY TWO AWESOME MARES BOTH CARRY ONE COPY OF PSSM1. I KNOW THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE IN THE DRAFT WORLD RIGHT NOW. MY PERSONAL DECISION IS TO NEVER BREED EITHER (WHICH I HAD PLANS TO DO). BESIDES THAT, WHAT THIS MEANS TO ME IS THAT I WILL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE MAKING SURE THEY RECEIVE THE NUTRITION REQUIRED TO PREVENT ANY POSSIBLE SYMPTOMS AND TO MAKE SURE I AM ALWAYS AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THEM (NOT THAT I AM NOT ALREADY). PLEASE DON'T LEAVE NEGATIVE COMMENTS. THIS IS A SUPER SENSITIVE DECISION AND SUBJECT FOR ME. SIGH....
