Carbos & conditioning

I remember the past discussions on carbo loading and how it might possibly
be related to tying up. What about putting the Weight Gainers in with the
electrolytes DURING and after the ride? Would that still be considered
loading? Would it be helpful in depleting lactic acid build up?

I have a gelding that I am bringing back after 4.5 months off. All of you who take
the winter off, what suggestions do you have for conditioning? I want to do a
SLOW 50 in 2 months. He was in good condition before and has been in a
large pasture for the last 2.5 months.
