 know that he has a calcium problem and usually manage it better than that.
 Anyway, we pulled.  We didn't go out tues or wed, but as Aurber was eating,
 drinking and doing all that horsey stuff, we went out on Thursday.  Did a
 slow (7 1/2 hr) day, tailing uphills, etc.  He ate and drank well, but
 seemed less enthusiastic than usual.  Went on day 5, took extra time to
 graze at the lush vet check; an 8 hr. for 50 miles.  After the ride, we were
 cleaning up at the trailer and Aurber collapsed.  >>

Wow! - must have been totally terrifying!   Just goes to show that even the 
best of the best........    Who could have predicted this?   Sometimes it is 
SO hard to know when there is a problem or how to address it.

We'll be thinking of you guys and hoping for the best for Aurber!
