best exercise for a fatty?

[ldlp111]

just wondered what is the best fat burning exercise for a fatty?

thanks

Lots and lots of fast walking, hacking and hill work

Lots of hacking at fast walk/trot and lots of hills!

Lots of power walking and brisk trotting I believe! I lead my fatty out the other day and we had a walking race up a big hill, great exercise for both of us! If you are short of time, lunging burns more calories in a short space of time than riding but take it easy if they're not used to it, its hard work,

I've recently heard of circuit grazing....so they have to walk for their grass rather than just amble across their field if you have the land and the extra fencing! Could help alongside your exercise, and lots of hill work!

I think it's all about putting in the miles - hacking hacking and more hacking. Me and my boy are on a fat fighting, get fit mission at the moment and we are hacking 4-5 times a week and lunging once (cos we need to learn to canter).

Nice long gentle daily 4 hour hacks.

Turning out horses at night can apparently help as they naturally move/locate more at night than during the day. (This is due to their instinctual need to be aware of predators.)
