<< Is there any genetic component to a horse tying-up?  I am looking at a 4

 shortly after starting the ride.  Should I be concerned about purchasing 
 this filly as she could have a genetic disposition to tyup also?

More likely she has a metabolic predisposition. Until the problem is diagnosed
and solved, I'd avoid her.
