That's a puzzler. Normally, you don't want to artificially make conditioning
easier--it should be a challenge to which the horse's body responds with
supercompensation. However, DMG also has some immune stimulating properties.
So it could be beneficial during training. Just makes your job as a
conditioner a little tougher.
