Has anyone ever heard of this/seen this condition? Possibly it is known by a different term/diagnosis? Any help is much appreciated! TIA! :)

As far as I have come to understand shivers is some how related to EPSM and can therefore also be aided by a low carb/high fat Atkins diet for horses. LMF has a good low carb product.
