This has come up as a discussion topic in the past, but I was hoping to have some other opinions.
Our big alpine (250+lbs) turned 8 years old this year. He is still doing great on pack trips & keeps up fine with the younger boys. We usually don't load him with more than 40 lbs when we go out overnight. However, he definitely shows signs of stiffness the day after we go for a hike. We want him to continue to live a long, high-quality life, while still carrying weight on multi-day trips.
Any suggestions for what we can do to help him out? Thanks--Saph
