livexlovexrodeo - 2015-06-22 6:28 PM My current mare is "no maintenance" but not if you want to clock in the 1D. With 0 "extras" and in mediocre shape she will clock in the 2D, usually 3D. She doesn't have an actual soreness issue, but there's a noticeable difference in the way she runs when she's in top shape and kept up to date on chiro/massage and using BOT/PHT/liniments, versus good shape and me slacking on things.
^^^^^ there you go! You said it perfect you can have a no maintenance horse but your not going to be running with the big dogs! I know ppl that have bought horses winning 350+ entry shows and they refuse to do maintenance so they now have a 2D horse that hits in the 1D once a month or so. Or they take one that was winning the show every time and go to a horse thats now hit or miss on wins because they refuse to inject. If you wanna play this game you must get your horses out of pain. I feel so bad for horses that are running in pain and still trying their hearts out.

Where are they at, I wanna buy those horses.  

They still ain't cheap....

Location: Wisconsin		knock on wood, i have been so lucky with my mare being so low maintenance. shes been seen by a chiro and he said she was in great shape, never has shown signs of ulcers, does not need injections, not a bleeder, etc. I do, however, take some preventive measures. they are by no means necessary but i just like to make sure my horse lasts as long as possible. My mare is dry lotted and on a round bale so she gets SmartPaks Smart breath. She gets aloe vera juice, lubrisyn, and forco! I keep her shod all the way around as well. None of this is necessary, though, i could definitely get away with her just being a horse! but i also want her to last as long as possible.

Location: Saskatchewan		IMO, you get out what you put in.

My mare probably doesn't need to be wrapped up to trailer or cold hosed after a hard ride or done up with a little but of sore no more or mineral ice but she tries really hard for me and im gonna try really hard for her.

My colts on the other hand are lucky to get sprayed down after a ride lol
