Interesting research on bone / body development of young horses.

[From 2020]
"Turning a horse out until its third birthday and then beginning race training will adapt the skeleton to turnout for a year, but not to training or racing. The bone modeling system will largely atrophy. The horse is then introduced to training and will have to recreate the vascular supply and cell population devoted to remodeling. By contrast, the horse who trained at two only had to repurpose the vasculature and cells already present for growth.

This can be complicated by the fact that the heart and lungs, which are oft-used indicators of a horse’s fitness, don’t respond to training exactly the same way as bone. Horses have such relatively large heart and lungs that they respond faster than the skeleton to training, especially when a previously sedentary horse begins training. Dr. Larry Bramlage believes the horse who went through a year of turnout and began training at three is at greater risk of skeletal injury down the road because its skeleton may be less able to keep up the pace. Thanks to heart and lung conditioning, the rested horse may appear to be getting fit just as quickly (or even moreso) than his stablemate who trained at two, which could fool a trainer into increasing his workload too quickly for the skeleton.

The data bears this out. Year after year, the Equine Injury Database has shown that 2-year-old runners had a significantly lower fatality rate than 3- and 4-year-olds. Preliminary data released earlier this year showed that older horses who had raced as 2-year-olds had a decreased risk of career-ending injury to those who had not."

- Benefits range from increased circulation to reducing soreness and swelling.

- Horse’s legs need extra support due to lack of muscling and adequate blood supply.

- Tendons and ligaments are 𝘚𝘓𝘖𝘞 𝘛𝘖 𝘏𝘌𝘈𝘓.

-They are poorly vascularized, unlike the thick muscling of the rest of the body.

- Cold water helps heal, that’s why most vets recommend cold hosing with an injury or swelling.

- 𝐄𝐩𝐬𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐭, also known as magnesium sulfate, is actually a naturally occurring mineral compound made up of magnesium and sulfate and has been used for 100’s of years for muscle soreness, joint inflammation, bruising and much more.

- Horses find 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒙𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝒊𝒏𝒋𝒖𝒓𝒚 when regular salt water spa sessions are used.

- Salt Water Spa sessions can be combined with aqua-tread sessions or be used on their own. 𝘏𝘢𝘶𝘭 𝘪𝘯, 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬𝘭𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦.
