Just finished Karen Chaton's VC 100 story (exciting read as always!)
Reading about Tigger's choke episode along with a couple of others at the ride had me curious. Is having 3 horses choke at a ride a bit odd (is the number high or not uncommon at a 100 mile ride for horses to choke?). If it's a rare thing, any theories as to why it happened to a few horses there? Is it because of being in the desert, being dehydrated and gobbling up food to fast?
Would be interested in any theories from teh vets/crews from the ride. I"m a chronic worrier and need to have solutions to all the 'what-if's' out there, lol.
