Here's an updated report--nothing too much different except looks like the toll on horses could end up being worse:

Major Loss

Sounds like the grain was treated with pesticide, but if the guy has been doing the same thing for years with no problem you wonder why all of a sudden it would turn deadly? An extra potent batch of pesticide, or something different all together? The necropsies done so far show phosphine in the horses--phosphine is, I believe, found in pesticides?

Very very sad anyway.

How horrible. I can't imagine having to watch that many of them die like that. Talk about a helpless feeling.

What a tragedy! I just heard it on the news this AM. I cannot even imagine something like this.

I feel horrible for the horses/owners of the horses/stable. I hope there are answers soon!
