Re: [RC] Question about not urinating during a 50. - Karla Watson
I found that taking them over to stand in brush
or small scrub brush or tall weeds can make them go. Or where another horse has
gone helps too.
----------Karla Watson/Oregon
I
have a mare who has done six 50-milers. This mare will not urinate
under saddle, period. It is fine if one of the vet checks is back at
camp because she can be put back in her corral and she will urinate there.
It is very unnerving for me when there is no vet check back at camp and
thus, nowhere for her to urinate for 50 miles. Two of these 50's were
multi-day. Any suggestions/tips on how I should approach this?
This mare also has a tendency to gulp water and has had mild water-belly
symptoms at 2 different rides.
