Ok, I'm sure this has been done before but I can't find what I need to know. I'm just after an idiot's guide to getting a horse fit for trail hunting in the winter.
He's not been completely let down but has only had a couple of hacks a week from the end of last season and is now pretty fat and lazy (as am I!
) So, given that we've got about 8 weeks can anyone give me a blow by blow guide to what we need to be aiming for each week. We've not got many hills but I can find a couple of slopes, plenty of quiet lanes and roads, access to a school and a vet friend who has shown me how to take his pulse. He's a 16hh ID x TB type and is 15 so I really feel I need to get him properly fit for a season (particularly as a friends 19 yo has just dropped dead of a heart attack, suspected to be because he was hunted too much and underfit)
Any help much appreciated!
