Hi,
Im currently upping my mares workload in order to get her trimmer and fitter ready for cubbing so excited!! Shes developed abit of a summer tummy as she was a hat rack when she arrived and so i wasnt concerned about getting her fit just healthy. However now we are raring to go. Currently riding 5/6 times a week for an hour of trotting and walking and sometimes 1/2 hour of almost all trotting and she is coping well with this. However when it comes to fast work 10 yards of canter and shes blowing like a train.
Sorry will get to the gist basically Im wondering whether to give her a feed from now on or not? Shes turned out 24/7 on a field with not alot of grass due to me wanting to get the weight off etc but should she be in more grass as she is working harder and needs the energy?
Sorry if this is a ramble
Thanks in advance
