I recently learned about this...the hard way. I have not had a horse in heavy work-ever. Now that I'm doing endurance and jumpers with Confetti I do. This past week we were preparing for the last jumper show. A coupe days of great practice , she went into heat, and then it went downhill FAST. I did not know their performance was effected this way. Interesting article.
Some of you had experienced Fetti going backwards....this explains it. And wen she stops at a fence, unless obviously rider error, this explains that too.
Oh well, better now than later.
