[RC] LSD Base????/Regaining it? - Laurie DurginLoong Slooow Distance base on a horse Question (no not the drug :0) ).If you spent say 2-2.5 years trailriding and trying to get a horse ready for ER(that was probably way ready), and that horse gets a layoff of 6-12 months ,for injury or illness. Disregarding the rehab for the injury or illness: after that is done. Do you have to start over again ? ie. Have they lost that base? or how much? How much of the bone/ligament strength remains? How much muscle remains, does it just need toning or do you have to rebuild it all over? All things being healthy, would a horse need 3 months of conditoning, 6 months, etc? And would you do it like you would a young green horse just starting , or would you shorten the intervals between just walking, and walking, to trotting and trotting? Or is this an individual thing and you just wing it? thanks Laurie and Rascal (who is bored out of his mind and needs a job) _________________________________________________________________ Find high-speed ?net deals ? comparison-shop your local providers here. https://broadband.msn.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
