[RC] Tying Up - Linwood N. Gray

I have also recently been having problems with my 7 year old Arabian mare
tying up.  Did two LD's with her last year and she did great!  About 3
months ago, she began having episodes of tying up under various conditions,
none the same.  She is warmed up properly, goes through most of her workout
and when we are cooling out she starts tying up.  My daughter has also been
jumping her and seems to do just fine.  I have had bloodwork done and it
came back within normal ranges.  She is fed a grass mix hay most of the time
or a grass/alfafa mix, not overfed.  Her weight is normal now, although she
was overweight for a while.  I give her Vit E and selenium supplement, but
she is still very stiff after conditioning.  She is also on Equi-Plete
Training supplement.  Her protein levels came back in normal range also.
She gets only a handful of Purina COB to mix with her supplements which is
8% protein.  I am perplexed as my daughter and I are looking forward to a
good ride season this year, she now rides the mare.  Any help would be
appreciated!  My vet said it could be hereditary and there is nothing that
can be done for that.
