Why would you buy an N/H horse? There are PLENTY of HEALTHY horses without this problem out there. Sure, things can happen with any animal, but at least hedge the bet in your favor! If you're going to be spending time and money and investing your heart in a horse, get one that doesn't have a condition like this.

Buying an N/H horse is like buying a car with bad tires. Can some people drive it around forever without a problem? Sure. Will you? I wouldn't bet on it.
I'm not going to buy him DNH. He is close to $10 grand anyhow, well over my budget. I was maybe considering it before I know about the HYPP thing. I really LOVE the big slug though!
