I'm interested in learning more about glycogen loading. You're probably
familiar with a recent study that found much better recovery with feeding a
high carbohydrate meal immediately post exercise. I think the research was
done on sled dogs. I wonder if it works for horses. Dot's experience would
indicate so. What's the difference between a field report and a testimonial?

This is something I have done, and recommended, for a long time.  Although I do
wait at least one hour after finishing before giving it (that is, after the Best
Condition exam) and I break it up into several feedings a couple of hours apart.
