I really was ASKING not assuming anything. Probably should have just said what do the vets think the normal range is for a noncompeting horse.
In humans this is tied into kidney compensation and I have no knowledge as to whether a horse has kidney compensation for high and low bicarbs or alkalemic Ph's like people do but there are vets here that will know
