Well the vet is coming back out to Gem today, as she has been on box rest for about 5 weeks now, so am hoping she will be allowed turn out after the vet has been today (fingers crossed please!)
This means she will be coming back into work in the not so distant future. Can anyone suggest any way to get her back to fitness at a good rate?
We have been walking out on hacks twice a week for two weeks now, and I have been taking her out for in hand walks too if thats any help?
Sorry if I sound like a numpty and this makes no sense!
 
I would hack daily in mostly in walk building the trot up for 2 weeks (if you need to work in walk in the school - but keep it long and low to build up her back)
Then start introducing schooling/canter gradually, lots of different exercises and vary it day to day - that way if shes worked hard the following days isnt using all the same muscles which would make her sore.

ie:
sat/sun - hack
mon - day off,
tues - school
wed - lunge,
thurs - hack etc etc
fri - school
