Come on  up north a ways and you can add to all this: freezing rain, sleet,
ice, snow.  high winds.  And these things do cause horses to tie up more than
heat, humidity, flies, etc.etc.etc. Not all at the same ride of course.
Every region has its own problems.  In 34 years of riding I can only remember
one horse dying of metabolic reasons in the Midwest--of course senility has
probably set in.
