| July 28, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Vet & Sports Medicine |
A short post since I’m currently trying to finish two papers before a July 31st deadline! The papers are worth money beyond the $5/month this blog earns me, so I fear that you – My Dear Reader – get the short end of the stick. Heat ConditioningThe Heat conditioning regime worked like a charm and […] more
Tevis – Details II (things gone wrong)
| July 26, 2013 | Posted by Melinda under Uncategorized |
Just in case you think everything went well and my Dear Reader is under the impression that I have this sport figured out….I’ve dedicated this post to things that did NOT go well. But first, as always – an update! I stopped into the VMTH barns on my way to work and spoke to one […] more
