“What’s their exercise program before you arrive in Vegas? “Martha gets the month of October completely off with no exercise except for the EquiVibe vibration plate that she goes on every day while we’re at home. Otherwise, complete rest. I start riding her the first of November, and each week we build up. I’ll exercise her 1.5-2 miles every day at a walk, trot, and lope to get her pretty physically fit. She makes her last run at Omaha every year and then her first run back is at the finals. Moe was off from the middle of September to the middle of October. Now, he’s getting an EquiVibe vibration plate treatment every day. He went to the Canadian Finals Rodeo the first week of November, and then a week off with just vibration treatments. A lot of equine rehab and racetrack places have the EquiVibe. It increases circulation, builds muscle, helps build bone density, increases circulation to internal organs and helps foot growth. It is one of the best investments I’ve made, especially on a horse that you don’t want to physically exercise, you can stand them on that for 10-20 minutes a day and it keeps them fit. I use it every day on all of my horses.”
