While the speed at which horses\nrecover varies, there are things you can do to help them recover faster and\nmore completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens when a horse is exercised?\nEssentially, they&#8217;re utilizing vitamins and minerals in addition to burning\nenergy \u2014 glycogen and fatty acids needed for muscle contraction and propulsion.\nJust as in humans, when we undergo a strenuous workout, the burning of glycogen\nproduces lactic acid which in turn introduces soreness and fatigue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Horses are incredible athletes, but we ask\nthem to do a lot of diverse things. The good news is their bodies have many\nphysiological adaptations allowing them to better withstand the workloads we\nimpose upon them. For example, horses have a large reserve of red blood cells\nin the spleen that give them an athletic advantage over other animals of\nsimilar size. They&#8217;re designed to endure these workloads \u2014 but when they do, we\nneed to be more aware of the time they need to fully recover from their\nactivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-equine-nutrition-tips-for-horse-muscle-recovery\">Equine Nutrition Tips for Horse Muscle Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These equine nutrition tips are great ways to\npositively impact your horse\u2019s recovery after strenuous exercise: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First and foremost, <strong>proper hydration<\/strong> (water) is important for muscle recovery and performance. If a horse is dehydrated, it likely negates      anything else you do to try to help it recover. Without water, blood circulation is compromised, and nutrients can\u2019t get where they need to go to aid in the healing\/repair\/recovery process. As we\u2019ve mentioned in a separate post about <a href=\"\/en_na\/the-most-important-nutrient-for-your-horses-water\/\">proper hydration for horses<\/a>,      water is second only to air \u2014 always ensure your horse has access to plenty of fresh water. Dehydration, in and of itself, causes fatigue and      slows down the recovery process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another point to consider is <strong>proper conditioning<\/strong> with respect to muscle strength and endurance for the horse to withstand the workout. Horses that are well conditioned suffer less muscle fatigue and damage and require shorter recovery times. Part of the conditioning process is ensuring the horse\u2019s nutrition is well-balanced and based on a forage intake of 1.5 to 2% of body weight supplemented with sufficient protein, energy, vitamins and <a href=\"\/en_na\/species\/equine\/\">Zinpro Performance Minerals<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> to meet their workload. Recovery is all about how good the conditioning and preparation was prior to the event. If a horse isn\u2019t properly conditioned, exercise can lead to increased inflammation, which redirects energy to heal damaged tissues and fuel the immune system. Inflammation, particularly chronic      inflammation, will slow a horse\u2019s recovery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As horses encounter greater physical activity and their workload and energy demands increase, their need for key trace minerals increases. Zinc, manganese, copper and selenium are the primary minerals needed for production of strong muscles with high cellular integrity.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Zinc<\/strong> is especially important as it plays a role with calcium enzymes in muscle contraction and nervous function. But more importantly, zinc is a key component in over 3,000 proteins and 300 enzyme systems in the body. So, zinc is foundational to many basic cellular functions involved in muscle production and function, immune response and especially in the recovery process.&nbsp;       <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manganese<\/strong> is important for the formation, maintenance and repair of joints, while <strong>copper<\/strong> is key to the formation of connective tissue (tendons and ligaments), bones and cartilage lining joints.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Selenium and Vitamin E <\/strong>play important roles as antioxidants, helping animals keep free radicals from oxidative stress in check. Oxidative stress is caused by overworking muscles and not allowing sufficient time for repair and recovery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calcium, magnesium<\/strong> and <strong>potassium <\/strong>are major players in maintaining muscle and nervous tissue communication and function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fats<\/strong> are a key energy source in horses. Fats provide a slower, more energy-dense burn for greater endurance or sustained activity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protein is needed to build and rebuild damaged muscle or hoof tissue. When considering protein needs in a horse nutrition plan, it\u2019s important to provide an adequate supply of essential amino acids. Most equine nutritionists will first focus on the balance of lysine, methionine and threonine, as these amino acids are often the most limited in the equine diet. Just note that you\u2019ll want to avoid over-feeding protein, as an excess can reduce muscle glycogen (energy) supplies and increase diet cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall, trace minerals help slow muscle damage and enhance the recovery process. While required in small amounts, equine trace minerals are involved in many enzyme systems that are key to muscle repair and reduction of oxidative stress. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When a horse is hauled or transported over a long period of time, it may get fatigued by the journey. When a horse stands in a trailer that\u2019s in constant motion, it has to continually use muscles to maintain balance. Even though the horse is not moving, it\u2019s being forced to use core muscles and its whole body to stay upright. Therefore, it\u2019s important to realize transported horses may burn significant energy simply through the trailering process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some equine enthusiasts have begun to focus on low-starch diets. For horses that are maintenance-level, easy keepers, it&#8217;s perfect \u2014 these horses aren\u2019t doing a lot, and a low-starch diet may help maintain normal weight. However, when considering horses with higher work intensities, low-starch diets may not be sufficient. Horses with greater work or exercise intensity have increased energy demands requiring greater glycogen stores and thus a need for sugar and starches to rapidly supply and replenish this key muscle energy source. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-equine-nutrition-for-varying-recovery-times\">Equine Nutrition for Varying Recovery Times<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovery time will depend on the level of\nexercise, conditioning of the horse and amount of muscle fatigue that has\noccurred. In many situations, a horse can be fully recovered within 24 to 48\nhours. However, when considering horses such as three-day eventing horses or\nelite show jumping horses, these elite athletes have a heavy workload. Research\nshows it can take more than five days for these horses to fully recover. Just\nthink of it like the recovery for an individual who ran a 5k race versus a half\nmarathon versus an Iron Man competition \u2014 the recovery times will vary\nsignificantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to proper equine nutrition to\nimpact a horse\u2019s recovery time, first ask yourself, &#8220;Am I conditioning my\nhorse for the level of performance I expect?&#8221; And then, &#8220;What is that\nlevel, and am I providing my horse the right fuel and nutrients to perform its\nbest and to achieve full recovery?&#8221; Then ensure your horse is fed the\nright nutritional balance with plenty of water and recovery time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on equine nutrition and horse muscle recovery, visit <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/aaep.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Association of Equine Practitioners<\/a> for information on general horse nutrition and exercise.
