From 5, to 8.

Each year, someone publishes a list of the most common ailment in our horses. I remember when there were 3: colic, laminitis, ligament injuries. Then there were 5. Now we are up to 8. This is concernng to me as a horse owner and practitioner. It seems the thought process is that if these are “common”, then it follows that they must be “normal.” Think about it. What if we did something different?
