Frozen ground, cold temperatures, and stiff muscles and tendons can result in muscle damage or even a bowed tendon. Warming up and stretching cold muscles prior to exercise is important for getting the circulation going and loosening up stiff muscles and joints. These actions are critical for the prevention of injury and the enhancement of performance throughout the year, but especially so with the onset of frosty temperatures. Somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes of warm-up exercise generally is sufficient for most horses. Consider getting your horse maintenance equine sports massage session to keep improve circulation, increase range of motion, decrease muscle tension and build immunities over the cold winter months.
