Irish had a little mucus in his nose this am so we did a light gallop. That might help him clear up his lungs.after his gallop his nose was clear. We will watch and see. He is due to go back to track on Wed.
After his gallop he shows no mucus in his nose. I hope he continues to be clear.I believe the exercise helps clear the lungs-the art is to do enough work but not too much!
The drainage is not clear the way it would be if he had no colored mucus.
When you see clear fluid from nostril it usually shows that he worked a little and expanded his lungs. I like to see that as it means the ride was useful.
Spitfire had mucus and a cough a week ago and was off his feed.We gave him time and turnout and this AM BEFORE his gallop,his nose was clear. We did an easy gallop to see how he was feeling with instructions to just jog if not right.
He felt good so he galloped easy and came back with loose snot in nose.
I believe the gallop helped him work the mucos out.
