muscle building for tb's

[archie1]

any idea for muscle building ideas for a 16year old boy to do on a 14 year old tb. need to be fairly simple as they both get bored easily and my brother doesn't exactly ride on the perfect contact (or any!)

try hacking up hills, or give him a fun lesson on transitions from walk to trot to canter. Serpentines. transitions both up and down.circles.

Walking. Walking uses more muscles at any one time than any other pace. Walk, walk, walk, up hills, with a contact, without a contact but WALK! xx

I don't know about muscle building but a good suppling exercise is spiralling in from a large circle, making the circles smaller and smaller, and then spiralling out. My TB is very buzzy but she used to enjoy this exercise.
