I have been talking with a horse breeder and she has mentioned some kind of virus that is deadly to foals and is not that bad in horses with good immune systems. For the life of me I can not figure out what she is reffering to. I know it starts with an R and is supposedly so hard to get rid of that is can take a long time before it goes away.
