So after the news of Miner's frolic retirement due to an episode of AF,a recent similar episode in Sprinter sacre, and a few years back Denman (and doubtless others that I don't know of); is this something that is becoming more common or do you think we're maybe just picking it up sooner?
Are we putting too much cardiovascular strain on these types of horses that means they are more likely to develop it?
I'm sure this is something that is more common in the performance horse that are pushed to the physical extremes.
Has anyone had their horse have an episode of AF? Or other arrhythmia for that matter?
Just a little musing- I wondered what other people's opinions were?
Tea and toasted hot cross buns on offer
