Subject: Re: [RC] [Guest] Horse Death at
Owhyee Ride
Steph is collecting all the info/materials for the AERC Vet committee to
look over. That process will work it's way through and Dr. Baldwin will
put the final report together for the AERC board.
She's not around
for the rest of the day so I'll fill in.
Dean Hoalst's horse, LDJ
Phantum, showed signs of colic after his finish and completion of the day
2 55 mile ride over Toy Mountain. I wasn't around for all the details (and
maybe they should be formally put in the Vet Committee report rather than
out on the net), but I guess everyone thought things were fine till about
2am or so when sever colic symptoms began. Phantum was taken to the Idaho
Equine Center where he was evaluated and put down later in the
morning.
It was a very sad time for all involved.
I'd caution
that "We heard that someone overrode their horse and it had to be put
down...." is a very broad comment.
