Pro-Bi is also recommended when you worm, trailer, innoculate, etc.--i.e.
anytime the horse may be subject to a stressful situation.
The TTeam belly lifts are another excellent tool--but you need to practice
them routinely at home, on a daily basis, so that your horse becomes
accustomed to the "feel" and learns to accept it as a relaxing, soothing
exercise. Waiting until race day, then surprising your horse with a strange
sensation, may cause the belly muscles to tighten--not your intended
reaction! Save your little plastic covers from needles and use one to run
along the groove in the midline section--it isn't as sharp as a finger nail
but produces a good result immediately.
