I have been led to believe, and observe, that the classic "tying up"
or Monday morning disease aka azatoria is not quite the same as what
endurance or CTR horses experience. Wendy, please correct me if I am
wrong here. I have read articles about horses that were starting to
"tie up" and with careful management actually finished the ride. I
have witnessed horses urninate coffee colored urine and exhibit minor
"tying up" symptoms, yet a blood test several days later did not
indicate that the horse truly "tied up". Perhaps the difference is
in what causes the symptoms, too much food - no exercise or too much
exercise without metabolic "support".
