Re: RC: Shakey mare

I gather you're not talking spooks or equine psychology?

Then I would protno get a blood workup on her.  If that's impractical, ask your county extension office or horse professional what's lacking in your area -- pasture, feed etc.

Good luck!

She is a purebred Arab. The question I have is this year I have noticed she will start quivering after about 1 hour into the ride. I have noticed this in cool weather as well as warm weather. We live in the Black Hills of South Dakota so its not that hot here. It doesen't seem to matter if she is sweated up or not. Is this something I should give electrolytes for? I have had this mare from birth and this is her second year under saddle. I would sure appreciate any advise in this from you all. I am very fond of this mare and will be talking to the vet soon,but in the mean time......
