    What does "crash" mean exactly? Is there a common crash to an endurance 
    horse...is it cardiac arrest? I saw a  TB at a horserace collapse after the 
    race. They dumped 5 gallon jugs of water on it right on the track. After a 
    few minutes it stood up and left. Is this the kind of crashing? Do horses 
    "faint?" Is it severe dehydration where the systems shut down? Sorry for the 
    basic questions but after 8 months of reading I have heard about this but 
    don't know entirely what it means physically to the horse.
