The worst crash we have ever experienced was my husband's horse.  He was 
uncooperative about drinking on the trail and on one ride, when he finally 
did drink, at 35 miles, we gave him electrolytes and he promptly started 
thumping and progressed into colic.  He ended up on IV.  We had not ridden 
fast or hard, just moderate and steady.  We finally sold that horse because 
we could see a pattern of refusal to drink on the endurance trail.  He went 
to a pleasure home, and that is much better for him.  My husband really 
liked that horse, too. We're not planning to electrolyte again any time 
soon.  We'll just have to see how it works out with other horses.
