RE: [RC] [Guest] Adios - rides2far


prosecuted for murder for making a little girl drink water as a punishment 
until she died.  Libby
 As a matter of curiosity was the water pumped into the horses or g>>iven by 
gravity feed thru a funnel?

Whoa there. Granted, after reading Darolyn's post I'd be a bit hesitant to 
allow anyone to try to give my horse fluids by nasal tube but I believe in an 
uncompromised horse excess water would pass through the system. The horse's gut 
had apparently shut down and nothing was passing through. They don't just do 
that standing around. I'm sure the vets there were no strangers to these type 
symptoms. However, fortunately for our sport
no one vet sees that many horses die and may not notice a pattern. If a rider 
does, it's good to let them know theirtheory...but until the veterinary 
community tells me a horse drank himself to death at a ride I'll be darned if 
I'm going to stop my horse from drinking!
