obviously with J cutting his leg and the really hot weather he has been out of work for 2.5 weeks.

He wasnt in much work before that really if im honest. Maximum 4 hacks a week 20 mins each.

He has got a bit chunky. He is out from 2pm to 6am with a fair bit of grass, he doesnt really touch his hay when in. He has had to have 2 small feeds for his meds but this will end on Saturday.

He is 6 in August.

What should I be aiming to do (hacking mainly with maybe one pole work session a week) to help up his fitness and help him get trimmer?

Still new to the area im hoping to get to know more hacking routes. Currently know 2 that are only 30 mins long but include a fair few hills (roadwork and tracks)

Lots of hacking, but not ambling along purposeful paces, to a contact etc. Consider a bit of interval training for the shorter hacks - walk 2 lamp posts, trot one type thing and build from there
