Just had to pull my half Arab half saddlebred at Cuyama on
Saturday because he had a bad case of thumps. He has had them off and on for
years but without any serious trouble. However, he just wouldn't come down this
time. Naturally, he was very high for the first couple of hours but that is
nothing new. Does anyone have any new info on dealing with such a horse prior to
a ride. I know all the stories about Alfalfa etc. It's so weird because he has
great gut sounds and is well hydrated. Thanks for any
ideas
