[RC] Whoops, correction to Dr. Nic - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: ti tivers@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== That second paper talked about cardiac aspects of decoditioning. Still, my answer goes. There are still shorter-term deconditioning effects that must be held in check in a campaigning horse. Any time you go to zero or next-to-zero event-specific exercise, then you've gone to nowhere, making your return far more difficult--for the horse. Never go to next-to-zero until you're permanently retiring the horse from competition. ti =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
