> > Oh Nancy -- what horse was this?!? One of yours? That was our Twist, the Standardbred who lives here at home with his little buddy the Icelandic Yrsa. Like many Standardbreds, Twist is so bomb proof he's practically comatose. His resting heart rate has been as low as 24. A comparison would be Hunter, whose lowest rate has been in the low 30's.
It hardly seemd fair that the sweet Twist would be the one a cougar took a swipe at, but he wouldn't have been particularly afraid. And I have gone back to leaving them out at night. Nancy
