Re: [RC] IV Fluids before the ride (was: Malaysia, etc.) - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

Am I the only one who is bothered by this?

My biggest problem with it is that I know of at least three horses who have 
lost the use of one jugular from scarring after having to receive IV fluids. I 
believe I recall reading that many of the Gulf stables traditionally give even 
healthy horses IV fluids after a race.

I understand them being cautious though, after shipping by plane into such 
humid conditions and hearing how stressed the horses were on arrival.
