Re: [RC] what's the point... - Heidi SmithI'm not saying we're risking death just by going to a ride. I *am* saying that Howard is right in that we shouldn't pussyfoot around and pretend that endurance is not a stressful event, and that 99% of the time, metabolic trouble occurring at a ride is occurring *because* that horse is at a ride. Susan, I don't think any of us are pussyfooting around the stresses of a ride. But it is still ridiculous to assume that every horse hooked to an IV line has a ride-related problem. Perhaps the ride precipitated an event that would have occurred in the near future, but maybe not today--but it is still a stretch to state that ALL health issues that occur at rides are caused by the ride.
