Tom, thanks for the answers to alot of my questions!! I'm still
confused about in some ty ups one should not move the horse ( so I have
been told) or there will be further damage. Why? Does movement create more
lactic acid in the muscles? Yet, circulation needs to be improved to remove
these wastes out. Would massage then be better, keeping the horse still.
Does the seriouness of the ty up determine whether movement of the horse is
indicated. Doesn't lactic acid cause constriction of the blood vessels
depriving muscle of needed o2?
I'm not too sure about what I know about tying up, so correct me if I have
some things wrong, but tying up is something that totally confuses me.
The tying up I see at the end of rides appears to be more exhaustive type
muscle problems, less acute muscle symptoms but more overall clynical
symptoms, no muscle damage. Am I right here?
I guess what I'm asking here is black and white answers to what one should
do if they find themselves out on the trail not too far into a ride with a
horse that totally refuses to move, dark urine and is in distress. Wait it
out? Try to get the horse to move and will this cause further damage,
massage, let it lay down???? I have not had to deal with such a situation,
but when it does happen, I want to do the right thing. Linda
