Exercise ideas!

[JBM]

Hi!
My horse Judy has been out of work for approximately a month to put on some needed weight and due to vet reasons.
Was wondering if anyone has any good exercises to get her back into work and build some muscle? Thanks for any tips

My forum initials come from my first horse - Judy! I hope yours is as good.

Can you give us an idea of the vet issues? It's harder to suggest exercises without knowing. But often for building muscle after time off, I've used walking over raised poles, in-hand work and gentle uphill hacking in walk. But only if your vet signs off.
