Had a flatwork lesson yesterday (M went fab), at the end, instructor said that M is fit enough to cope with what I ask of him but would benefit from his workload being taken up a gear as his type (a lazy ½ TB x ½ ID) needs to have a bit more in reserve than the average TB.
Ill ask for more advice at my next lesson but, being nosy, was wondering what sort of weekly riding routine other people have. A typical week for us is:
Mon rest day
Tues 1¼ hour riding club flatwork lesson (group so quite a few breaks)
Wed 45 hack, including short canter
Thurs 1 hour flatwork lesson or 45 min schooling
Fri 1 hour hack, lots of hills, walk and trot
Sat 1½ hour hack, including a couple of canters
Sun Generally competing 3 weekends out of 4 - currently 2/3 SJ classes but could also be dressage - 2 tests or HT - ind & pairs class from mid Sept.
Thanks
