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.
