With the steel-belted tires that are sold nowadays, tires are no longer considered insulators from lightning strikes.  I read this somewhere....

It can indeed be a prolapsed rectum. One of my mares had that after she got hit by lightning while we were traveling. she was in teh horse trailer. so much for rubber tires being insulators.

I assume this is a prolapsed uterus. A situation we experienced which was promptly repaired by our country vet. 

Our mare went on to produce six or seven foals. Forgive me if my assumption is incorrect. Floyd
