<< Teddy, You state you started your loading 4 days before ride. Specifically
what did you load with and how. Zorro gets a little stiff in the rear
shortly after rides. I have been supplementing with E and selenium through
feed additives. Does B12 help. At Carolina ride Jeanne Waldren said that
there were new studies coming that suggest that you take your horse off of
grain for a couple of days before a ride and to not feed it during the ride.
Does anyone know anything else about this. Ride....Really Ride!!! Mike

I haven't seen those studies--would like to hear about them. Studies I have
seen suggest that post-race stiffness (muscle soreness) can be substantially
reduced by getting carbs to the athlete in quantity within 1 hour of the
finish.
