8Just curious really to compare! I have a 15hh 5 year old ISH mare (well 5 in April!) I currently work her 5x a week, usually 2x hacks, 2x schooling and one something else, e.g. Jump lesson, boxed up hack, lunge, dressage.
I'm sure she would be further ahead with a better rider, but I'm pleased with her! She hacks alone and in company for up to 1.5hrs, she's done 2 prelims and was 2nd in the 2nd one on 70%. Her walk and trot is really balanced now, she has a big canter for a little horse so her canter is still unbalanced but improving all the time. We've jumped a 70cm and an 80cm SJ and she's been xc schooling and a couple of farm/fun rides. She's never stopped at a fence and tries so hard!
Im planning to do some unaff eventing in the spring and work up to a BE80 mid summer and hopefully some affiliated prelims at a similar time some pics below of little Goose!
