[RC] Light Riding Question - Val NicosonMy mare may possibly have bone spavin which hopefully will be confirmed yes/no shortly after tax season. Meanwhile am told that light riding should be pursued. Can anyone provide ideas and parameters regarding what exactly constitutes "light" riding? Do understand this does not include any LD/endurance riding...but how about conditioning...i.e. what should the mileage limitation be for this condition? Mostly we would do this at a walk with a small amount of trotting. Would 5 miles be OK? What about 10? Personally am thinking 5 would be OK but perhaps 10 may be too much? Thanks for your thoughts, Val __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
