Hello all, I previously posted WHEN IT THAWS as I needed some advice re: first time turnout after box rest due to check ligament injury and then all the snow - thanks for the replies!
I am now able turn out in a small paddock area and build up to full turnout, my question this time is what sort of ridden work can I start with to bring my horse back into work steadily - we were only having weekly/fortnightly flat work lessons and a little light schooling so it's not as though he needs to get up to cross-country fitness - I just want to make sure we go steadily enough to strengthen the leg and not compromise it in any way - thanks in advance
