Re: [RC] Rectal Hydration Therapy (was: Big Horn Death) - Steven ProeHi Folks;
If my memory is correct it also happened on a Tevis ride (after the Finish) and somehow was hushed up in my opinion.
When the person that performed this method was observed duing this potentially Dangerous action as you can rupture the colan lining.
This could cause many problems.
As I recall the person was very Wealthy and threated to Sue the ride if they were punished.
As with many rides, it what is not know by many that endangers our friends and companions.
bye for now
Steven

I have only heard of it on one other occasion. On the last day at Death Valley in 2000 (I think, it may have been 2001), a rider did this to a horse just after the finish. It was a subject of a protest. However, it is just a guess. kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
