>Hi Sandy,
>
>I had problems with my horse tying up about 5 years ago. My veterinarian
>could not identify a cause. He was having problems under different
>situations(out in pasture, at the beginning, in the middle, at the end of a
>ride) It was very frustrating. He never had the dark urine, but would be
>unable to move without a shot of banamine. Anyways, my vet got Porter involved
>in a study on tie-ups at UC-Davis. The veterinarian that was heading the
>research was Stephanie Valberg. Although Stephanie is very busy, she is very
>helpful and may be able to send a copy of her study to you/and your
>veterinarian. As I recall, she found young mares to be most susceptible to
>tie-ups.
>
>Porter (my horse) turned out to be one of her subjects that they could not
>figure out. His muscle biopsies showed one of the largest percentage of
>slow-twitch fibers they had seen. They indicated that Porter was perfect for
>endurance work. I next tried chiropractic adjustments. This worked for Porter
>as he has not tied up in over 4 years!
