[RC] broken vein in horses back - A. PerezI don't think being put out wet would cause this. Putting a hot, wet horse in a stall is a bad idea, but turned out in a field they will basically walk themselves out (of course he should have water available). The only problem is if it is cold and the horse could get chilled, in which case they should have a sheet or cooler on and be walked. I don't how turning a wet horse out would cause a vein to rupture, though. ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ============================================================ They're athletes! This is a partnership between horse and rider - we don't have any jockeys out there, just pals and partners. We'd allow a rider with a broken foot, a sore back and a nasty cold to compete - but we would never let a horse in a similiar condition hit the trail. ~ Dr. Barney Flemming DVM ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
