Hi Judy, >>>What is the affect of adding weight to the distal limb? If the horse is sore, is it a wise choice to add weight?
I would say, no, definitely not. Extra weight will only exacerbate it if there is a problem in a joint.

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer [] Lee Ziegler http://leeziegler.com [] Liz Graves http://lizgraves.com [] Lee's Book Easy Gaited Horses http://tinyurl.com/7vyjo [] IceHorses Map http://www.frappr.com/IceHorses Yahoo!
