Exercise Plan?

[dwi]

What exercise plan would you recommend for a horse that's not been ridden for three months over winter?

Four weeks walk, four weeks trot gradually building up to an hour before you thought of anything more?

My boy had about 3 months off last year through injury (so slightly different) but we did:

6 weeks walking, starting at 5 mins building up to 30

then

6 weeks trotting, starting at 5 mins building up to 30, still with the 30 mins of walk

Its safe to say he was pretty damn fit after that!!

That was prescribed exercise by the vet, so I would think your plan sounds pretty good, try adding some good hill work in there too as thats excellent for getting them fitter.
