WASEEKA'S NOCTURNE

Typically A Morgan Gentleman

Although this was the first time his rider ever exhibited a stallion, and the first time the stallion was exhibited by a Lady and/or an Amateur, yet Nocturne exhibited his usual brilliant manners and vibrant action to win all four of his classes at Stowe*, Vermont, as well as receiving the Mor- gan Championship for accumulated points.

We welcome visitors at any time, but you might find it more interesting to visit us between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. weekdays as we usually train and exercise then.

On October 11, the Directors of The Morgan Horse Club, Inc., met in Lenox, Massachusetts. Eight were present: Mrs. Childs, Pennsylvania; Mrs. Ela, Massachusetts; Messrs. Angel, Ohio; Ferguson, Rhode Island; Hills, New York; Morse, Massachusetts; Rogers, New York, and Taft, the President, from Michigan, who presided.

The reports of the work of the Club for the first nine months of the calendar year were carefully analyzed. In general, they show that the rapid increase in the work of the Club which began three or' four years ago is continuing, and at an even faster pace. Our cover this month features the Grand Champion Harness Horse at This points up the necessity for reorganizing the Club's office our National Morgan Horse Show this past year.

There's Hope For Heaves

By BARBARA MONTGOMERY

Now reclaimed from heaves — these horses are happy and useful again. After five years of fairly concentrated research on heaves in horses, I sincerely believe that there is hope (and plenty of it) for the heave afflicted animal. We have taken over twenty very ad- vanced and "hopeless" cases here at Montgomery's Barnyard Heave Research, and every one has responded dramatically to controlled diet, stabling, and handling. Hundreds of horses are now on this feeding regime, and we have received innumerable letters from grateful owners whose horses have been restored to usefulness. Now for a quick run down on the general nature of heaves. First of all, heaves is a disease of the lungs. Its correct name is lung emphysema or alveolar emphysema. It affects not only horses and other animals, but humans as well. Heretofore, heaves has always been considered chronic, progressive, irreversible, and terminal. Some "patients" arrive here in very poor condition. The general pathology of heaves is the the alveoli (air sacks in the lung) become distended or ruptured. This condition causes the lungs to lose their elasticity consequently, they are no longer able to perform efficently, particularly in the exhaling process. There- fore, the abdominal muscles have to take over the emphysematous lungs' job of pushing out the air. Tremendous effort is seen in their abnormal clenching and double lift breathing. The contraction of these abdominal muscles results in the formation of a groove in the flank, the characteristic "heave line."

The Allergy Aspect of Heaves Next comes the question as to the cause of this disease. Personally, I believe that allergy symptoms in the respiratory or gastro intestinal tract are the the foremost cause of heaves. First we will speak of the allergy symptoms in the respira- tory tract, such as asthma, hay fever, rhinitis, or sinusitus. These are caused by a swelling of the mucous membrane and an over- producton of mucous which are brought about by an irritant 1 either inhaled, swallowed, or touched. The neighborhood kids drop by for a look. It is easy to understand how these allergy symptoms can cause heaves, because any swelling, mucous, or obstruction in the air passages will hinder the normal exchange of gases to and from the lungs. This hindrance can break down lung tissue and cause heaves. However, if these allergy symptoms can be controlled when they first appear, there is a good probability that there will be no heaves. It is most important to realize at this time that nasal allergy symptoms, such as hay fever or sinusitis, are just as dangerous to a horse as asthma because a horse can breathe through its mouth only with extreme difficulty. Unfortunately, an allergic horse is often asked to work hard when breathing is practically impossible.

Food Allergy or Incompatability Besides the above allergy symptoms that can cause heaves, food allergy or incompatability may also be a factor. I am not sure if there is an allergy to ingested food as evidenced by the apparent inability of the gastro-intestinal system to handle roughage (rather like colitis or ulcers in a person). Whatever it is, the gastro-in- testinal tract distended by gas and bulky feed can bring pressure on Above: Mrs. Wilson and her son, Ricky, are much happier with our ex "patient" Gerry (horse at left) than they were the pulmonary system and eventually cause heaves. It is interesting with Sneaky Pete. to note at this time that the emphysematous human often has a his- tory of ulcers or colitis. Below: Rest and relaxation is an important part of the recovery program for horses with heaves. From our observations, it is the old horse that is more in- clined to the asthma type of symptoms, whereas the younger ones show more of a food incompatability. Although they usually have some of each, and the seriously afflicted animal has an overdose of both. What Causes Allergy? In as much as allergy itself is quite mysterious and no one seems to know much about it, I can only offer my own observa- tions.
