Fitness plan ideas???

[MrsMagoo]

What sort of plan would you choose if you didnt have very good hacking?? Need to get Star back and fit, she's only had a few weeks of having it easy but recently had some shoulder/neck problems so want to make sure she's all fit and able

So no ideas then????

I guess you really want to be making the most of your all weather arena and building up gradually the length of your trot and canter periods, getting off her back a bit might help to simulate 'canter work' style and when you do start jumping, do grids. Our school is frozen at the moment, as are the fields and the roads, so maybe now isn't the best time to start. You could also try lungeing a couple of times a week to help fitness levels but not for too long, 20-30 mins max with lots of changes of rein but working on transitions and half halts.
