Nice to have an ambulance on site...of course, with certain injuries, all the kings horses and all the kings men wouldn't be able to put them back together again. All I can think of is what Judy said the other day - all the claims of "protection" regarding the use of bell boots on a flat, level, dry track. It kills me to hear all the "just in case" defenses for bell boots (usually weighted) yet for ice tolts, you think it's ok to be reactive, not proactive. Very inconsistent...and very convenient. >>> I know this won't be a popular view, but I can't see it was a problem. It's Physics 101, Mic. These are basic laws of the universe, and they were NOT rewritten to make an exception for one breed of horse. It's that simple. Karen Thomas, NC
