My experience with the sweat patches on
my welsh ponies has been very interesting. As you know they compete in
the pony pair class in FEI Horse Driving Trials.
I used a full course of patches on both my ponies at the beginning of
February. We were not competing at that time but did notice that one
pony did not sweat as much as usual when exercising (this pony used to
sweat excessively). We started competing in May and was amazed at the
difference in their heart rates as they were much lower than in
previous years.
On average after trotting approx 9km at a 4 minute per km trot their
heart rates at the holt were normally in the region of 65-70 but this
year they have come in at 45-50. Also the pony that usually finished
the marathon dripping with sweat was noticeably drier and not as
exhausted as before. I can only put this down to the use of the
patches as there has been no other change in their pre-competition
routine.
These differences are to be of great benefit to the ponies physically,
mentally and of course competitively.
