Kaboot thumped once...when I gave some non-endurance electrolytes. He
never did again. My App that I started out on thumped as soon as he was
going good. I didn't know what thumps was,  and didn't understand why
they kept telling us all these complicated ways to take a horse's pulse
when I could easily feel my horse's pulse in my legs. It was back before
thumps was an automatic pull and the vets agreed that there was nothing
wrong with my horse...one called it a "hyperactive phrenic nerve" so
maybe to some extent your theory is right there.
