TheHorse.com's Ask the Vet LIVE Q&A event on conditioning horses was held on May 26, and the recording is now available.

Hooray for warmer weather, more riding, and more training time! But before we hit the trails and arenas, let's not forget that if our horses have been in "winter storage," their bodies (and ours!) will need some conditioning before they're ready for a heavy work schedule. How does your horse's body adapt to exercise, and how can you tailor your conditioning program to maximize his fitness and soundness? How do you know when he is (or isn't) ready for more work? Horse owners worldwide got answers to these questions and many more during this session.
