The horses not mine......although now I come to think of it.....

She has recently come back into work after a long break.We have done lots of long longing etc as she needs completely restarting. She is being lunged and now lighlty ridden,mainly in the school to fitten her.

What can we do to help improve her toning without over doing it????

My physio did carrot stretches with my mare, you can see them lifting up through their belly even while you're doing them.

Have a look at Equine Fitness by J A Ballou, she has lots of schooling , in-hand and stretching ideas to help regain condition and fitness.

Pole work is fab for this type of thing and raised poles when she is stronger.

My back lady gave me loads of carrot stretches to do every day to improve Ellie`s core muscles
