[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?
