Horray we can start riding Molly again ..... but is this normal?

[archoak]

Spoke to our vet from RVC this am to report on Molly's lameness from heel abscess and he said to start riding. However he said to start riding her for 2 hours a day

I thought I'd misheard so asked him again and he repeated 2 hours in walk and trot and Ok to school - she'll fall down in a faint

not only is she a bit porky but hasn't been ridden for 3 months. Normally I would build it up with walking for 15-20 mins then start to include trot, what do you think?

not something i would do, i would build up slowly from 20-30 mns walk and a little trot to more!
