Researchers from the University of Bern, in Switzerland, and Texas A&M University, in College Station, have recieved many survey responses from horse owners, trainers, riders, and veterinarians who participated in a study on collapse and sudden death in horses. But the team is opening surveys up for additional responses for a few more weeks.

"The questionnaires will remain online for a few more weeks,"  said researcher Cris Navas, MS, PhD, LV, Dipl. ACVIM, a clinical assistant professor at Texas A&M. "If you have ridden, trained, or treated a horse that collapsed or died during or near exercise your input is very valuable. You can help us find information to design strategies to prevent these episodes by filling in the questionnaires."

The team has set up two online surveys, one for horse owners, trainers, and riders and one for veterinarians.

The researchers hope to design strategies to prevent these episodes with the information they collect
