do you treat hacking as 'work'?

Bit of both really. Would loved to have been able to hack Baron out and school him at same time but wasn't prepared to use that road.

Whenever I took the hack escorts out, I always used it as a way of working the horse, practising leg yield, working on collection & extension.

Also did wonders for my jump position, hacking in jump length stirrups and no rising trot - just letting ankles absorb it. Secures your lower leg really well
