Those of you with IR horses, what were the original symptoms (aside from the symptoms Adopta already mentioned) that made you think it was IR? I'm just curious, because my new mare is horrendously obese (has always been dry lotted, but did have a round bale out at all times in her old home and was getting a tiny amount of grain, if any at all) with a crest like a stallion and I'm wondering if i ought to have the vet check her for IR when he comes out to do shots and coggins.

Sorry to hijack, Adopta.

also, for muzzle rubbing sores- duct tape along the edge of the basket really helps. That's what I do for Rocket.
