summer training program ?

[SlideWithPride]

Hey guys

Its been a long time since I was last in the forum but I now have a phone with internet acces so I should be on more often

Anyways I was looking at training timetables and I figured there would be no better place to ask other riders how long they train per day and what other exercises they do to get their horses back into shape for the show season.

Thanks for all your help

Elliot

about an hour's work a day, 6 or 7 days a week... hacking, schooling, jumping, cantering, it varies really. much shorter time if it's lunge-work, no more than about 20 mins in a session.

Hi, it really depends on what you are training for? Just general fitness or something specific?

Dont forget the rider fitness aswell!

I use specific leg exercises and core exercises that stabilise the spine which is helping to keep my back strong and safe in the saddle. The fitness dramatically helps the horse particularly when tired!
