[RC] Muscle Injury-How to condition - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Lisa Powell lspow@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Hi! I just did my first 25LD ride at Liberty Run and got hooked. I wish I could do this sport every weekend. My ride went great until the last vet check. My 5 year old Morab was off on his left hind. Otis recommended having Michael the massage therapist work on my horse (thank you Michael!!!) He massaged Luke's inner groin area to loosen the muscle. After 15 minutes, I went through the vet check again and was given a complete for the ride. I was so happy! Luke was fine by the next day, but needs some conditioning in that area of his hind quarters. He needs to learn how to use his back end more. Does anyone have any conditioning tips on how I can strenghten his hind quarters. I do alot of walking hills, but need more ideas. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
