We had a horse here that used to tie up early in a
ride. A couple of times very badly (go to vet for fluids kind of bad). We
eliminated regular grain from his diet entirely. Gave him a small amount of
Legacy (high fat food), Endura-max (for the calcium) & grass hay. He was
able to go on 7 do a number of endurance rides, mostly ld's, some 50's (rider
limitations). he is a TB/paint cross. We eventually stopped giving him the
Endura-max except at rides. That program worked for that horse. Good
luck.
Has anyone had any experience with a
young TB type mare tying up with very little work, just being saddle broke.
Any success stories out there, what worked for you???? This mare is AngloArab,
walk, trot in the ring, just started some cantering, is turned out on pasture
24/7. Small amounts of grain & grass hay. Thanks,
Judy
