[RC] a little peeing problem - Rides 2 FarWhen Gambler started to show signs of not peeing, that was one of the first > things we thought about (tying up). But watching him walk and then he was > hungry we thought otherwise. My riding buddy's horse tied up so bad he couldn't take a single step with a rear foot. We were in an open field when his rear end totally locked up. He had a pulse of 32 and ate every blad of grass that he could reach while waiting on the vet. He looked totally unconcerned about his non-functional rear end other than irritated that he couldn't step forward to get more grass. This was a case where he tied up at the very beginning of a ride. On the "strange peeing" thread. We had an interesting reaction to our horses doing 50 miles in deep sand. A friend's horse and mine had the same symptoms the next week. They didn't let down at all to pee so when they urinated they sprayed their whole belly. I don't know if it was sore muscles in their back or irritation in the sheath. Both recovered just fine.
