how often do you

[xoxstacexox]

school your horses, was just curious for those with arenas and fields to ride in how many times do you work your horses in them

and how often do you hack

 

[jesterfaerie]

When my boy was in work he would be schooled 3-4 times (in a field) and hacked out a few times.

ATM i school about 3 times a week and hack once or twice. In summer I school (flat and jumping) 3 times, hack once but we also have fields open that I would use for fitness work probably twice. We have a 65x25m arena.

 

[Tinkerbee]

schooled 4 times a week...hacked every morning

 

[DiablosGold]

Hacking 3-4 times a week and schooling/jumping 3-4 times a week

 

[Sarah_Jane]

I usually school twice a week and hack the rest.

stace - Any chance you could reduce the size of your siggy, its HUGE!

I just try to school whenever the weather allows. I have a paddock to work in and dont hack so I can be very limited!

 

[Heidi_123]

I school 4-5 times a week for about an hour and hack 2-3times a week. Sometimes I go to the end of the lane after a heavy schooling session.

I virtually don't school at all in the winter as I don't have an arena & the fields aren't dry enough. I suppose I do a bit out hacking, which in the Winter is only average of 3 times a week.
Hoping to put my mare in foal next year so will keep her ticking over so she doesn't get fat otherwise we would be starting our fitness programme shortly which usually involves lots of hacking in the local hills until the ground dries up enough to do proper flatwork.

At the moment twice a week, but once I have the arena it will probably increase to 3/4 plus hack 3 times.

 

[reddie]

He's schooled about 2 or 3 times a week, jumped once and hacked a couple of times. I do half and my sharer does half.

 

[Gentle_Warrior]

don't school !!!! have one but neither of us enjoy it

 

[Mel85]

School about 3 times a week, jump once and hack the other days. If she schools well, I'll go for a short hack as well, rather than keep on in school.

 

[Merlotmonster]

I have to school every evening in the winter as its dark when I get home. I hack out or compete at weekends.,

In the summer, I hack out 3 evenings a week once its light enough.

Luckily I have a sand school with lights. Im getting it extended this year as its currently only 30x 20. It will then be 50 x 20 which will give me enough room for some jumps.

Staces horsie looks like a Haflinger to me, cos Ive got one too....

 

[xoxstacexox]

yep shes a haflinger , shes a little cheeky monkey though currently in process of moving to a yard with an arena and get her back schooling

[Seahorse]

I school 3 or 4 times a week, lunge once and hack the other days, or Axey gets a day off.
We have a lovely big 60 x 35 outdoor school, and our hacking is straight onto the Downs, no road work
