Wow! That is just sad, he is a really lovely boy. I hope he finds a wonderful home as a pasture puff. I wonder what the surgery entails, if it is still an option and what the prognosis would be? Would be nice to make him more functional if only for his sake.

You know, with a very young horse and a low grade case of Wobblers, I would imagine that surgery is a GOOD option for him, although it is expensive. They basically go in and try to widen the area where the spinal cord is being "pinched" in the cervical spine... causing ataxia or neurological symptoms. It's a totally mechanical problem, not disease related! More common in long-necked, large framed horses.... For a very short period of time, we were HOPING that my big TB Oatis had this, rather than EPM. Because it is sometimes treatable with surgery.
