[RC] Need opinions (was Preventing Treatment) - k s swigart

The only loss of a horse
for "exhausted horse syndrome" that I've ever had at a ride where I was head
vet occurred for this very reason--the vet at the last check (very competent
individual who really knew endurance horses, BTW)  allowed the horse out
with the provision that the rider walk the horse in, and next thing we knew,
she had led the horse out of sight of the check and had gotten on and come
in just as fast as she could.


Maybe the rider did this because she had read on Ride Camp
that if your feel your horse is tired and it is out on the
trail in the heat with no water that it is esier on the
horse trot than it is to walk. :)
