Re: [RC] Thumps - Barbara McCrary

In answer to Angie's statement, I have! My husband's horse was a "I don't want a drink of water" horse and he would thump when he became dehydrated. The last time he did that, he progressed to a colic and had to be IVed right at the vet check. The horse had not been overridden, as I rode every step of the way with him, but that horse just didn't want to drink. Lud finally sold him for a pleasure horse, and he will live to a ripe old age outside of the endurance world.

Dabney responds:
I have, once when I was vet secretary at a ride. But that horse had all the other signs there was trouble afoot as well, the thumps were just incidental.


On the other hand, I've seen at least a half dozen cases where, had there been no thumps, the horse would've passed the VC with flying colors.
