Very cautious of leg strain - appreciate all this great info...!

I think a horse put into work for less than a year, then off few a few months still needs some work done on the "bone conditioning", but a horse that's done a year or two of work can stand to be off without too much risk. <br /><br />***this is me talking as a first year vet student and endurance rider - please no one sue me!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627065628317652042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-17988362476060607162012-03-29T15:10:57.455-07:002012-03-29T15:10:57.455-07:00Another great blog, Mel.

So am I reading this right that we don't need to worry about rebuilding bone density if the horse was out of work (not injured though) for a few months? I'm guessing that the time needed to rebuild muscle will take care of the small amount of bone loss that might have occurred during the rest?KathySnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-14985935116869646872012-02-21T13:39:24.324-08:002012-02-21T13:39:24.324-08:00Yoga app - it's just glled "yoga" an...Yoga app - it's just glled "yoga" and it's by Viaden. I also have "fitness 4-in-1" because I like the little 100 pushup routine and have doing it for a number years on paper and it's just nice to have it in one place. <br /><br />AareneX - that's so funny! I know that as a child I didn't like how I tended to have toes that pointed outwards when I walked, so I made an effort to point them forwards, or even toed in a little. I notice that I have some bone shape changes in my legs because of it (I think). <br /><br />Bone physiology/biology seemed straightforward and common sense to me. More so than the tendon stuff. Probably because it's stuff that we knew from the human side for quite some time. And we have human sports that illustrate these concepts perfectly - the swimmer versus the runner for example, and we regularly do bone density tests on humans (females at least).Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16627065628317652042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-32964380448698388092012-02-21T13:10:34.144-08:002012-02-21T13:10:34.144-08:00Such good stuff, Mel.

I'm still hacking my way through the tendon stuff, so I've got "bone" stuff next.<br /><br />I didn't realize until a few years ago that bone remodelling doesn't just happen as a result of injury (I know, I can be terribly dense)...my doctor noticed how <i> bow-legged </i> I've become! Ahhh, yes, I think that if we measured the shape of my lower body we would find that it pretty closely resembles the shape of a certain horse's barrel!AareneXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18072169739345465380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-67462108778269632932012-02-21T12:33:04.238-08:002012-02-21T12:33:04.238-08:00Very cool stuff about bones!
