Is it mean to ....

Lunge in the morning and then school my horse at night as part of her fittening up process???

She doesn't seem to be lacking energy and I want to make her as fit as possible, do you think this is overdoing it?

 

[Weezy]

Not at all!

 

[ColleenIsh]

providing you are feeding her correctly and that you are not over doing the lungeing in the morning , also obviously that you havent jumped into this regime and that you have built it up and that she is happy enough then I dont see it a problem .

 

[jumpthemoon]

No problem at all - in fact I might start doing that with my horse - good idea!

 

[Mbronze]

Oh good, its just our long schooling sessions were getting a bit tedious so wanted to break up her day and add some interesting work in for her.
She loved it this morning (squealing - up into canter) I did tell her off but it's lovely that she gets so excited...

If I had the time thats what Id be doing with murphy...!

You could ride twice a day instead of lunging.

I've been riding twice a day to get Chex fit and to lose some flab (from both of us

) and he's coping fine. He doesn't even get fed, but has plenty of energy.

thats what iv started doing, i feel a bit mean too but if i dont get him fit quickly ill just get bored. takes ages to get him fit hes so lazy!

Only prob from your horses point of view, lol.

I think thats great! Its brilliant for his fittness!! i would be doing that because my pony is a bit flabby!! but i dont think there is anything wrong there as long as your feeding her enough and mabye more than usual if she gets a bit toooo slim!!!
