RE: [RC] ?correct that horses "keep their acquired fitness"? - Steph TeeterI read a paper once describing research on thoroughbreds - they analized fitness level (I think it was based upon mitochondrial density, or some similar cellular activity) on horses kept in stalls, and found that it was three weeks before they identified significant decline in this particular parameter.

Please Reply to: Ray O'Donohue rno2m@virginia or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Field trialer here.Some time back,some Ridecamp posters espoused the concept that unlike humans,horses maintain an acquired fitness level for a long time without continually performing the amount of work that got them to that point.Too good to be true? I must admit that this is something I have bought into to salve my conscience re the "weekend warrior" regime that I impose on Chico the Rebel (and myself).It(seems)to be true-Chico has pretty much been tireless,no matter what.Comments? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
