[RC] Riding at elevation - Mike SherrellOur horses have spent the last years at less than 200 ft elevation. Now we're at nearly 5,000 feet for a few months. I myself after a couple weeks of jogging still have trouble getting enough oxygen when exerting heavily. Locals have said it takes more than 6 months for a human to acclimitize. What about horses? How many weeks or months of a regular exercise regimen should it take for the horse to have the same capacity as it did at a lower elevation?
