I have been dealing with a muscle cramping problem with Khasun and
wanted to know if any one else had any info on this "syndrome". both
times it has occured in sand, and I was not alone. I have seen this
happen many times, horse is fine but as soon as you slow down or
stop, he goes lame. Blood work shows that it is not tying up. This
is a mechanical problem and it goes away with no apparent damage (
other than not getting to finish a ride). One vet suggested feeding
chromium to help prevent this. Has anyone heard this before?
