[RC] glycogen loading - Ridecamp Guest - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Diane Roby diane_roby2002@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Regarding the carbs after the workout/event. I'll confess my ignorance up front. I've just started and am only doing LDs with my pony. She currently has access to all the hay she wants. I also take her on 30 minute "grass walks" at least 5 out of 7 days. She gets a half scoop of oats in the morning and another at night. During a ride she'll have wet beet pulp mixed with her oats as I want to make sure she's hydrated. She gets wet beet pulp at the hold and along the ride she gets to eat as much grass as she can as long as we maintain a 5 to 6 mph pace. We aren't setting any land speed records nor do I intend to anytime soon. Immediately after completion she's again offered wet beet pulp and oats. The beet pulp comes out to maybe a large coffee can and a half total. So if I'm understanding this correctly, the oats are indeed carbs? I've not had any problems with her post ride and she has managed all A's with one B for gut sounds during a very hot, not much water, ride in March. By the way I did order Tom's book, the fit racehorse and can't wait to read it. If I have questions Tom could I email you with them? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
