Member Posts: 17	Would you kindly offer some regimes for getting your horse ready for the season and any feed and or supplements you recommend. 12 year old mare not a big girl but loves to chase cans. All your great info will be passed on to my 15 year old daughter so she can see what should be done properly Thanks in advance

This is within a couple weeks of course..I feed Exceed 6-Way. It has really helped with his overall appearance, he was really snappy in his turns and running hard at the end of last season. More so than ever before!

Ditto, a program I was given by vet to leg one up after being out for 8 months due to a suspensory injury and stalled quite a bit was 15 minutes walking, 10 trotting, 15 minutes walking-2 weeks increase to 10 walking, 10 trotting-repeat 3 times for another 2 weeks, then 10 walking, 10 trotting, 10 loping, repeat 3 times for another 2 months. I had one out for 6 months due to injury but not stalled and out on 100 acres, similar program but done over 2 months.
