Can you leave for 6mths off work and hop on as if you were out the day before? By this I mean no lunging etc before u get on.
My question was provoked from circumstances this year causing my mum and I to do just that with our horses.
Both are competition sport horses IDxTB and mine full TB. We brought them in, tidied them up, tacked up, hopped on (would have to hack to the school) and off we went for a hack (may I just add that they have been with us years so not uncommon for us or them and have a partnership).
They just go off as if they were in full work, all buttons, aids and manners just as we left them. Musing over it tonight I said how lucky we are to have such horses that don't bat an eyelid but yet can take out eventing etc.
Just interested in your response as know of quite a few you couldn't leave for 2 days!!
