oh defo only up the anti to canter strides once the trot has been mastered inbetween fences.. Sorry not made much sense!! I think repeating the exercises until the horse is bored is essential and do not shy away from doing it. Some people might say give it a break but you will only condition it...

thanks peeps, Yes it is hard to believe that some have only had six weeks and others five months!! must be the level of damage sustained perhaps. Its a funny old situation really because I cannot wait to see how she is getting on in three weeks time but part of me is dreading the...
