Re: [RC] rate him - rides2far@xxxxxxxxEndurance is a tough sport. You buy a horse with compromised innards due to bad worming care in his early years and you sentence him to an early death. Yes, and you buy a horse with compromised joints and you may cripple him up so that he has no future. And if I ride a horse that trips I may be paralyzed, and if I don't get the hungry horse he will probably end up being bought by some redneck with a dry rotted saddle and a rusty curb bit. Noticed the horse that died on the Rolex course had a rupture. Figure he got early worming? I read an article once where a vet school tested for worms at two different sites. One was a breeding farm with lots of horses that wormed every 6 weeks or so. The other was a horse out in a cow pasture who had never been on any schedule at all. The horses on the breeding farm had the highest infestation. This week I looked at 4 horses. 3 were overweight. 1 was grossly overweight. This one was skinny. Guess which one looked the healthiest to me? The skinny horse's feet were in better condition, he moved better...honestly I think I'd rather get a horse who's been without than one who's dying of overindulgence! I'm beginning to think lush pasture is the biggest threat to any horse's health.
