I love him to death, but after actually seeing attacks(not him), I don't think I'd buy another N/H horse. That being said, HYPP doesn't always equal death, it can be very managable with medication and diet.I also started a couple N/H horses this year, they never had any attacks while I was riding. If they get unusually sweaty or start twitching or just acting off in general, an attack may be coming on. I know one that if there was an unusual change in the weather, he would have an attack. Attacks don't always have to be full fledged spazzing out on the ground, it can just be a few muscles twitching.

Who knows when it'll strike. While you're in his stall with him? While you're riding him in a show? When a little kid is patting him?
