Re: [RC] Lunging for Exercise - Brenda L. Kossowan
I'm with Jennifer regarding lungeing as exercise. It's murder on joints
and should be used for traning only. Stephanie, your horse is not going
to lose condition in four weeks. Just keep her on a maintenance diet
while she's not working - no grain! And make sure she has a good turnout
every day if she's not on pasture.
BTW - knees are very slow healers. Good luck. I found that riding seems
to make them stronger, as long as you have suitable stirrups and a comfy
saddle (thanks again Paddi for ordering the EZ rides. Where is my
invoice?).
Cheers,
