Thank I’ve had a few with EMS. It’s prwtty easily managed with a low starch diet.
You’re probably aware of it but there’s a free for PPID offered by Boehringer Ingelheim. You fast your horse and the vet draws and sends in the blood to them.

It's limited to 4 tests per vet.. I used mine all up this testing period :( :( :( :(
The treatment for PPID is pergolide (brand name Prascend). If they are also EMS in addition to PPID, which happens a lot, you may find that until you start the pergolide the EMS symptoms will be hard as heck to get under control.
