I haven't had time to write any blog posts, but for anyone interested, this is the only published data I have been able to find about vaccinating horses for Lyme disease. The second link refers to a study that is occurring right now and will end in September 2015. Pretty slim pickings:

Emma has decided that she is NOT going to eat her medicine. Molasses is gross and sticky. Apple sauce is a plot by Satan to destroy all that is good and wholesome in the world. Apple flavoring is just plain wrong and don't even think about ruining carrots with those nasty, evil little pills. I think we are going to have to use the dreaded syringe.
She gave me quite a scare on Saturday when she didn't want to eat anything after just one day of medicine. I talked her out of a complete hunger strike with some hay pellets, a little walk and a whole bale of hay out on my snowblower path - the lure of forbidden territory. This morning, Ramsey gave his food dish a very skeptical look.
It's going to be a very long month.
