Asking a horse to run barrels after a layoff is like asking a couch potato to sprint a marathon. It is not just about being “fresh” it's about tissues, lungs, and joints being ready to handle the stress.

Horses lose condition fast, and how long it takes to get them back depends on two key things:
1. How long they’ve been off – A horse off a couple weeks might need a light tune-up. A horse off for months often needs 6–8+ weeks of gradual work before competition.
2. Body condition – An overweight horse carries more stress on joints, ligaments, and lungs, so they need longer, slower work to avoid injury. A skinny horse lacks muscle reserves, so topline and strength must be built before asking for speed.

General conditioning guidelines:
- Frequency: 4–6 rides per week
- Duration: Start with 20–30 minutes of walk/trot, then add long trots, loping, and breezing sets gradually
- Progression: Add intensity slowly; don’t ask for hard turns until they can handle sustained long trots and controlled loping without heavy blowing

Skipping this step risks strains, tie-up episodes, joint flare-ups, or poor performance. It's not worth it if it costs long-term soundness.

Respect the time off. Respect their body condition. Consistency now means more seasons of success later.

Every horse is different, and their conditioning plan should fit their history, body type, and workload.

Have you provided your farrier with shoeing rads lately?

You know what they say…𝐍𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭, 𝐧𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞.

And it’s true.

Most farriers will be thrilled to have you provide them with shoeing radiographs to ensure they can shoe the horse to the very best of their abilities!

We work with many great farriers throughout the Northwest and the United States, and we firmly believe it takes a team to keep these horses not only feeling and performing their best, but adding to the longevity of their careers.

So it might be time you get a few radiographs, because unfortunately our farriers who are incredible, don’t have x-ray vision. But lucky for you, we do!

I share this every summer!!!🥵

•Anhidrosis: the inability of a horse to sweat appropriately. 🥵 This has been a struggle for many owners this time of year, especially in our area where we reach extreme temperatures & heat indexes! The first clip was the horse standing in a stall, under a fan, labored breathing causing capillary to burst. Second clip was at the end of an session (7/26), working acupoints, & the third picture was this morning (7/27)! ZERO supplements, dark beer, etc. Although every case is different, I am very excited to see these results, & see how she progresses!🤞🏼 PM me if I can discuss or help you in any way!
