Several years ago we went out west with our FL horses. We were headed 
for ID. We stopped at a horse B&B in Rapids City SD. This was June - our 
horses had their summer coat. We put them out in the pasture with what I 
thought was water proof blankets. It was cold but dry when we left.  It 
started raining - this was the second week of June we are talking about 
here.

Well the blanket on my wife's horse was old and was not longer water 
proof and by the time we got back he was wet and cold. In fact he was so 
cold that his muscles were so tense that his gut motility was low and 
yes he coliced.

Putting him in a dry barn with a dry blanket and a shot of Bamamine let 
him relax and the issue resolved itself.

So while it may not happen often - it can.

what happens. Not by what life brings us, but the attitude we bring to 
life." Wade Boggs, on his induction to the baseball hall of fame.
