[RC] RC:Deconditioning in horse 2 - Nik Isahak Abdullah

TI,the parameters of the cardiac indices do not seem to change in the 1st 4 weeks proceeding deconditioning.That is good news.Would that imply that if one is really worried about injuries sustainable in the last 2 weeks prior to a very important ride ,that one can forego further 'hard' and fast training well ahead and let our horses mainly rest with a bit of walkabout. You dont seem to agree in your previous personal communications and in the archives.This is important from the standpoint of international rides like WEC or WEG where a lot of financial and personal commitment has been expended and horses need to be transported over continents etc etc. I recall Steph had soundness problem with her horse in Compeigne France just prior to the WEC 2000???Could have overcome that with almost total rest after the long flight.If your quoted studies are to be extrapolated into actual practice almost total rest except for 'race horse like ' evening and morning saunter would be safer and better???I am talking of horses that are already superfit++ as any championship orses would be.
