Fitness plan

[Dreamer2005]

Hello,

I have been reading these forums for years with interest but never posted so here goes ...
My horse had colic surgery 17 weeks ago and I am about to start getting him fit again, post op he was a very active horse. He never had any intestine removed and I am told his surgery was quite straightforward.
Any suggestions or experiences of fitness plans after surgery would be greatly received as I've never experienced this before and want to do whats best for him,

Thanks for your help

Take it slow.

Walk him for a week or so for short amounts of time, then gradually increase his work load.

You are better to take it too slow than too fast. Your vet may be able to assit in an exercise plan especially as they will have had horses in that position before and (I am assuming) they would have done the surgery.
