Easy up there, Sugarwood.
The metabolism of a horse leads me to wonder where the expression "Healthy as a horse" came from.
Imagine you have just had a hard work out and suddenly just sat down without cooling down. It is likely your muscles would cramp.
With a horse the effect can be crippling. Horses worked hard and then put in the barn without adequate cool down and care can be so lame the next day they can hardly walk.
Old horsemen used to call it "Monday morning disease."
I didn't go to equestrian school either but the woman in my life has had horses longer than she has had me.
Best
