Welcome back to A Stride Above! In today’s episode, we’re thrilled to have special guest Andrew Vanlangendonck. Join us as we explore the distinct challenges of managing show horses during the winter months. Andrew brings a wealth of experience with thoroughbreds, having been raised in a family that focused on their sale.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
• The significance of evaluating a horse's tendon injuries and how winter doesn't significantly alter the rehabilitation approach.
• Andrew's favored rehabilitation methods, starting with aquapacer sessions before moving on to pool work, which he considers one of the top tools for equine fitness and recovery.
• The necessity of conducting regular physical examinations on horses to identify minor issues early and determine when it’s time to consult a veterinarian.
• Signs that indicate when a horse is ready to resume full power training, including a well-mannered attitude and a lively, energetic look.
