[RC] - Stagg_NewmanLouise, Why do you think the Midwest has been so successful at preventing equine deaths? We all need to learn from the example. Best and looking forward to seeing you at convention!

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.
