Sarah Ralston did a study of weight gain/loss of endurance horses at
the Vermont 100 a few years back. She had a great portable scale and
to our surprise, several horses actually gained weight over 100
miles. She does nutritional studies at Cook College and might share
this with us. I do not know if she ever did studies on weight
gain/loss during conditioning although she does ride endurance and
might have used her own horse as a g.p.
