Help! My horse has just had 10 weeks off due to a sarcoid being treated, he is now fine. Anyone give me ideas how long I should take to get him fit enough to show jump again. he was quite fit before this.
Try the huntes old regime of, and don't quote me on this, but six weeks walking, then six weeks walking and trotting, then six weeks more trotting. Maybe there's a website that actually states fitness training programme.
what breed is your horse. If he is a ID or a cobby type may take a while. If he is a TB may have not actually lost any fitness. Try walking out and doing hill work and see how he is and assess what you need to do!
