Am hoping to bring my cob back into work after a 9 month turn-away period.
She was turned away due to me having a baby. She lives out 24/7, she went into winter very fat, now shes on the good side of *lean*.
She is now rising 5. Before being turned away she was hacking and light schooling 5 x per week.
I am having the saddler out so hoping to start her the end of the week.
I will be doing the following:
2 weeks of walking in short 15 min sessions - which will be done in the menage
2 weeks walking on short hacks - involves a couple of hills (20 mins)
2 weeks of hacking in walk again - 45 min hacks includes a few hills
Introduce trotting at week 7
Introduce cantering at week 10
Start some schooling sessions by week 12
I hope to start introducing jumping toward june as she should be fit enough by then.
Does this seem okay? i don't want to do too much too soon and want to build her fitness up at the same time
i hope to introduce her to cubbing later on in the year
