Schooling

[Mel85]

How often do you school your horses?

How long do your schooling sessions last?

Normally 5 days a week for about 30 min...trying not to get as sweated up though....

i try to do as much as possible, but depends on weather really as i have no menage, try to keep them to about 30 mintes but depends on horses frame of mind!

I school normally 4/5 days a wk in the winter, do BD on Wkend's and he has one relaxing day (either hack/lunge). I school between 30 mins - 1 hr depending on how he is going. If he's going very well and has worked hard then I reduce the time. When I school in the double he works much harder so tires out a little quicker so I try not to push him past 30 mins.

I school out on hacks as well as in the school. I get them in the school about 3-4 times a week and they get schooled form between 30 mins - 1 hour depending on how cooperative they're being.

 

[Weezy]

Proper schooling 2 times a week (as in flatwork) - 40 mins with warm up and cool down is done on a hack afterwards

 

[Malibu]

I school in the areana as well as on hacks etc. At the moment my legs are not strong enough to ride Ru as he is used to so i school untill my legs go to jello, I always end on a positive and can vary from 20 mins to 60 mins. Lunge, long rein, pessoa as well.

It's more of a question of how many times a year for me! But then again maybe thats why I do so bad in dressage at events...

Depends on the horse really - Lexi schools 2 or 3 times a week and does about 45 mins of decent work.

Poor Merry would be on his knees if I did that, he isn't srong yet, he schools a couple of times a week for about 20-30 mins.

 

[cobwithattitude]

School more in winter!! No nice inviting warm, SUN lit evenings.........

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

4/5times a week for 30/40 minutes

 

[Tempi]

5 days a week in the evening for about an hour with each.

 

[Peanot]

I flatwork about 3-4 times a week, in the menage or the field, for about 40 mins each time. This includes a lesson once a week for an hour.

 

[sorona]

Daughter schools her pony a couple of times a week, either flat work or jumping and hacks, hunts and competes most other days. Usually ridng 5 or 6 days a week. She also schools my horse about once a week if she has time as I hate schooling!

 

[Nuttymanxmare]

About 2 -3 times a week for half an hour. Although have an trainer now so this will be going up to about 4 times a week.
