[RC] Horse deaths - ChrystalHi, I am a 'lurker" from Ontario :-) quite enjoy all the tips etc.... found on this email list. However I do have a question- I think it was Truman who mentioned awhile ago that there were 7 horse deaths last year and this year may exceed that, is this a number that represents JUST the U.S. or was that total horse deaths worldwide in this sport? Anyway, that has been bugging me and I thought I would ask, also does anyone have any idea of the numbers of riders/horses involved in endurance in the States??? I am a "newbie" to this sport but one thing I have found and that attracts me to it is that the overall care and attention given to these horses tends to be amazing- the knowledge that most riders have of general fitness/nutrition/ overall health seems to outstrip many other horse sports I have experienced.
