[QUOTE="Horse Guy, post: 429757, member: 5753"] Every 50 years the vet books seem to have completely different ideas about what causes founder and how to treat it. Im betting 50 years from now the will have different ideas again about it. A hundred years ago they though if you cooled off a hot horse to quick example rode him in a cold creak when he was hot you would founder him. Now people routines hose off horses after a race with cold water. Yesterday I had a colt with a mild case of colic. Vet told me to hose off his feet for 15 minutes morning and night to prevent founder because apparently when they colic they tend to want to founder. Anyway genetics Far as im concerned the better the horse the more crap will go wrong with him. Dink horses live forever and never see a vet. Mine im running them all the time to the vet. Its not just founder and colic its everything. Stuff you would dream of. Anyway im convinced hat the more TB blood the more troubles. a regular QH has a lot going for it. Haha The next colt I buy is going o be a QH! [/QUOTE]
