Fitness question..

[Starbucks]

I'm getting a bit concerned that my horse isn't really fit enough to do this intro I'm entered for next weekend.

He was mega hunting/TC fit until mid April, but since then has probably been ridden 3/4 times a week with a bit of SJ and hasn't done a vast amount of fast work. He's naturally quite athletic though.

Do you think he'll be ok??

He should be fine I wouldn't worry they don't need too fit for Intro particularly if naturally atheletic and not too overweight or anything.

thanks - he's not too fat, he looks like this

You'll be fine just set out in a good forward rythem and I'm sure he will find it easy. I don't do any specific fitness work until at least Novice and then not much then.

You should be fine. He looks well and isnt carrying a huge belly so im sure you will be ok.
