I generally take the winters off, but I have kept my bleeder legged up a couple of winters in the past. I don't really change much, but I do give him a little longer rest breaks. So if I'm trotting and go back to walking to let him catch his breath I might give him an extra minute or two. Once he's not huffing & puffing for a solid couple minutes I go back to a faster pace. With bleeders you have to keep them more conditioned & fit than non bleeders. If I condition mine enough during the year he doesn't bleed, even without lasix. But it's very time consuming and often have to ride for 1.5-2 hours 5x a week. The more fit you can get your horse before winter the better you'll be. They're able to maintain without having to work quite as hard. I recommend EquiPulmin as well, I was able to take mine off of lasix without him bleeding this year because I added that. I give 60cc before a workout and then days I run I do 60cc in the morning and another 60cc about half an hour before I get on to run.
