Episode #49: Bringing Broodmares Back to Work with Louise Masek

After foaling out a mare’s body is very different than it was pre-pregnancy. They adopt new postures and issues that require a different approach to back-to-work than injury rehabilitation.

Join me for this episode where I discuss back-to-work plans for broodmares with Canadian breeding expert Louise Masek.

We discuss the unique considerations mares face postpartum, new postures, interval work, tackling pelvic angle changes, and when to ride again.

Louise also owns a fabulous performance and breeding stallion, Beau Balou (aka “Charlie”). So, I couldn’t resist asking a few questions about Stallion management too!
