Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.6051 - Melinda FaubelMy post-race plan:
Ice and then standing wraps. Handwalking, handwalking, handwalking.
I will unwrap the wraps and check for filling periodically if I'm worried. I dont' want to miss an emerging issue because it's hidden.
My mare is coming off of some lameness issues and I like to keep a close eye on how much or if she is filling.
I don't use linaments or poulitices on the advice of my vet. His feeling is that instead of using a linament, just massage the area if I want, and don't use a poultice because you may miss a problem if it works, and if it doesn't work - don't waste your money.
I feel lucky to have a vet that I trust. So far his advice and councel has been right on and has gotten me through some tough spots this last year with my horses. I do try and learn from what others do and ask lots of questions, so this routine (along with other management practices) might change in the future!
