I have a 9 year old section d who I want to conpete in a hunter trial in 4 weeks time, its a 2ft3 class and he is capable of 3ft3+. He is not currently unfit but I wouldn't say he is fit enough.
He hasnt been out of work for over 18months, during the winter he was worked 6/7 days per week, mostly twice a day. This included use of the walker for twenty minutes a day, then either a hack for 45ish mins mainly in walk, 30 min schooling session w/t/c, lunging in pessoa for twenty mins, hour jumping lessons monthly. He was stabled 24/7 for a lot of the winter. Now the hacking has increased to an hour plus walk and trot, schooling for 45 mins, hour jumping lesson two or three times a month. He is now out during the day.
The hacking around us is flat and mainly road work. There is one field I can canter around which is on a hill, also our school is 30mx90m so big enough to do some interval training but is obviously flat and not very interesting.
I would like some advice on what else I can do with him over the next 4 weeks.
thanks in advance.
