Doesn't have to be so...........it happens, just as it does with people. Saw it happen once when we were just walking out to school in the field...one of the horses just collapsed as we walked out. I thought the girl riding him was going to drop dead, too, she was terrified.........but there were no drugs involved, nothing...his heart just gave out........he hadn't even exerted himself!
