[RC] Source for loss of conditioning - Aaron Turnage

Does anyone have a source or links for something that shows how quickly horses loose their conditioning?  One of my friend's has a horse that is laid up right now and she was very surprised when I told her that a month off will not have that great of effect.  I seem to remember it takes 3 months before they start to lose muscle tone, but may not be remembering correctly.  Where can I find that information?
 
Thanks,
