I'm interested to know what people do regarding giving their horses a break.
Do you give them a complete break? Or just reduced work for a while? Or nothing at all?
If your horse has had enforced time off through lameness/illness do you count that as a break?
I find it very hard to judge what/when/how much to give time off if horse is feeling fine and not showing particular signs of 'needing' a break.
I would really appreciate hearing what your yearly routine is including how much competing etc they do.
Thanks
