Care After Colic Surgery Should Be A Team Effort
Colic, a broad term that encompasses all forms of abdominal pain, is the No. 1 killer of horses. Mild cases can often be resolved with simple medical care, but some colic cases require surgical intervention to restore the horse to health. Horses that undergo colic surgery face additional risks, including anesthesia, the surgical procedure itself and the recovery time needed to get the horse back to the state of health he was in before the surgery.
Drs. Johannes van Loon, Emi Visser, Marjolein de Mik-van Mourik, Pieternel Kerbert, Tsjester Huppes and Eveline Menke, of Utrecht University in the Netherlands, reviewed clinical records of 283 horses that had colic surgery at the college's school of veterinary medicine. The team sought to determine survival and complication rates of horses that underwent surgery.
The scientists discovered that 59 percent of horses that had colic surgery at the college went home alive; 96 percent of those horses were alive one year later. However, more than half of the horses had one or two colic episodes in that year.
Nearly two-thirds of the horses regained their pre-colic surgery level of performance, but 46.2 percent of owners reported that the horses had gait-related issues or behaved differently than before they had the surgery.
The researchers suggest that improving the quality of care the horse received after surgery could drastically improve the horse's athletic performance and welfare. They also suggest collaboration with saddle fitters, physiotherapists and others who can work in together to return the horse to physical and mental health.

An Overview of the Fundamentals of Betting Exchanges
We will initiate our discussion with the brief introduction to the betting exchanges. To begin with, we can define ‘Betting Exchanges’ as a tool that aims to bring all the punters together so that they can easily bet against each other. In fact, we can say that the sole aim of the game is to bring the two persons together, so that they can place or exchange contradicting bets. To know detailed description about the fundamentals of the betting exchanges, you are just required to pay a visit on my online e-book ‘Bookie Bonus Buster’.
My e-book will let you know about various strategies mostly followed by the punters, thus placing a bet against the winning team instead of placing a bet that assists them in winning. As far as the exchange offers are concerned, it usually offers the punters with enormous benefits. One such benefit is that it tends to offer the punter with huge price money thus allowing him to place much enhanced amount as compared to the offered price for the bet.
The effective betting exchanges allow the punters to go ahead and easily make significant alterations in their betting positions, especially if the betting exchanges are associated with the long tenure events. Besides all this, there are certain times when winning betting exchange players make an effective use of exchanges. If you are betting exchanges on the part of a bookmaker there is high probability of either your account getting closed or alternatively you are allowed to place limited stakes. In contrast, if you prefer to opt for an online betting exchange, then all these limitations are not at all visible. In fact, an online betting exchange allows you to place as much of stakes as you can. Doesn’t it sound great?
Another vital aspect of betting exchanges is that they allow a punter to go ahead and place a price for the bet instead of backing it. For instance, if the Leeds to win the bet is 3/1, but however you feel that it can be enhanced to some extent, thus depreciating the chances of their (opposing team’s) winning. In that case, the most optimal Leeds is 7/2.
It has been observed that a lot of new players find it rather complicated as to how to make an exchange. So, don’t forget that if you are sure that higher exchange price increases your prospect of winning, then you can simply adjust your offered price while backing.
Will all these fundamentals of betting exchanges, you can really make a fortune.
Col. E. R. Bradley: Kentucky Colonel, Kentucky Legend
At the end of the 19th century, Col. Edward Riley Bradley—a self-proclaimed gambler, bookmaker, and owner/manager of several casinos—was informed by his doctor that a more outdoor lifestyle might be beneficial to his health. Something as simple as taking walks or hikes might have done the trick, but this was much too slow-paced for Bradley. In his mind, the most sensible thing to do was start a racing stable, where he could benefit from outdoor living while simultaneously building an empire in a sport deeply intertwined with gambling. What a picture-perfect scenario!
