It's a balancing act with a lot of fine tuning. What works now, may not be right 6 months later. It's always something, but we grit our teeth, bite the bullet and keep on going.<br /><br />Ride 'em, cowgirl!

So much more than just brushing and feeding. I haven't had a competition horse in a LONG time. I mean competition as in show...they are a lot of work. Not that I mind the work, I don't, I just don't have time for it right now. One more year and I will be back to riding during the day while my kidos are at school!!!

Corn oil has an inverted ratio which promotes inflammation, muscle soreness, etc. As mentioned above, flax helps clean out sand too. However, it is a PITA to grind daily and it loses it's beneficial properties very quickly. I keep it in a tightly sealed dark container in the fridge overnight as heat, exposure to air, and exposure to light speed the degradation.<br /><br />I really like your preogram.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-47453678416106457952010-05-27T18:00:56.148-06:002010-05-27T18:00:56.148-06:00Its nice to see some really take care of their hor...Its nice to see some really take care of their horses. I've seen way to many times people just simply not do the basic for their horses. Any ways I would like to know what you do for your straching exercises? I have a horse that needs them I do ours every other day, he is only riden about 3 times a week green broke, just wanted to know if you had any extra that I could do on him. <br />We have always had luck with corn oil but lucky we are grassed up pretty good.Riddle Me Thishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081397787692936917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-88456372882413759542010-05-27T12:20:38.149-06:002010-05-27T12:20:38.149-06:00Catching up - finally.

Put her to work!<br /><br />USe Flax - I swear buy it and if you have dusty conditions it helps them pass the fine dirt and sand that can lead to sand colic.<br /><br />Also - I have a tendency to stare at the top of the barrel. I want to watch between my horses ears. A student of mine said to wrap a piece of bright tape around the headstall on the poll and focus on that to break the bad habit. Unfortunetely I won't be trying that for awhile - and now that I don't even have a horse to train anymore perhaps longer. We'll see what happens.Danielle Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637508490808890254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-65345436394383985312010-05-27T05:42:38.337-06:002010-05-27T05:42:38.337-06:00There sure is a lot to do to keep an athlete in go...There sure is a lot to do to keep an athlete in good shape - this post was an interesting summary of that. <br /><br />Poor outgrown Strawberry - too bad he is going back to the ranch.
