    [RC] thumps - John & Sue Greenall


    Can there be a "slight" case of thumps?  As in tying up, there are 
    degrees?  Will calcium always correct it?  Can a horse have a 
    "predisposition" for thumps (like tying up)?  So we have all heard 
    that electrolytes will "prevent" thumps, but is there a "magic 
    number" for the amount of Ca+ needed to do this?  And if the horse 
    is thumping, is there a source of Ca+ (such as cows get) that is 
    recommended for horses?
    Yep, gotta new Morgan that seems to stress out in company and 
    "thump".  I think?
