Climate and Altitude changes

["robert and carla lawson" <robandcarla@hotmail.com>]

This is a topic I don't see very often on RC but would love to discuss. 
After a recent move about from South Central Tennessee I moved to Central 
Southern Kentucky. I actually lived on the Alabama Tennessee Boarder. I 
Lived in Alabama my horses Lived in Tennessee. One of my mares experienced 
what I would call some depression but was told it may have been climate, 
altitude change. Now to me I didn't feel a darn thing but to her well she 
was just so depressed looking. I realize that horses have less tendency to 
eat drink and be happy when on rides, this is a given unless your horse is 
getting really used to slumber parties.
I was kind of wondering if you plan on going to rides that are several 
Hundreds of miles away say from coast to coast how much time would be good 
to give your horse time to adjust? If you do say a hundred or a multiday how 
much recovery time would you give before hauling back? I remeber something 
maybe Steph and Krusty was in France about a week or two? correct me if I am 
wrong here. I know that the plane ride was no picnic for a horse. Here in 
the south when riding in the south you can pretty much haul one day ride the 
next and leave the following. Just some random thoughts I have had, I want 
the best advantage when I begin again. Goodness knows by the time my two 
year tenure is up I am going to know every nook and crannie on these rides 
through ya'll!
