[RC] 30 minutes to pulse at end. - Libby & Quentin Llop There are lots
of reasons a horse might take longer to come down. The horse could pull away
from his rider right before the finish line, gallop through the vet check, turn
around, gallop back, then gallop through camp, where his saddle might slip under
his belly and he would head for the four lane highway, but someone might get the
gate shut just in time, in which case he would head into the woods over a huge
leaf pile, which wouldn't support him and he would turn "ass over teakettle",
hit the ground running and go until he was lodged between trees. After some very
helpful people found and rescued him and returned him to the vet check, it might
take his pulse a while to come down. Anyway that's what happened to my husbands
horse "Snorty" in May.
