Just a question about horse injury recovery-
I had two horses get cuts during workouts on the 4th and 6th. I started them walking at about a half mile at 20% yesterday, and did the same again today. Is this too soon to start doing light "recovery" works such as walking, or can it be done earlier for a milder injury like a cut? Also, is there any specific recommended time that we should wait to work a horse after say, swelling? I was thinking start walking about 20 days after, trotting and cantering 25 days after, and then racing after about a month. Is that long enough? Again, I know it is all subjective to the horse, but i was just wondering about it.
