What is too much - training events plans musings

[UKa]

would you go to a jump lesson one week, a polework lesson the following (both at external venue but hacking distance) and also fit in a in-hand obstacle session few days after (at home) for still green 6-year old pony? Been offered each and they all happen within 10 days of one another if budget wasn’t an issue would this blow the mind a bit? I am not used to having such fantastic offerings locally

Sounds fine to me, just don't overdo the days in between.

 

[Vodkagirly]

Yes, wouldn't concern me at all. I was expecting you to say 3 consecutive days (which i think would be fine tbh,).

Sounds fine as long as both fit enough and not oodles of travelling to do in between.

I found it less mind blowing when he was doing stuff regularly than when we had a break (transport issues) and then we went to do some poles - apparently not going anywhere for 8 weeks meant we had to show all our rodeo moves. It was embarrassing. He then rocked up to another clinic 2 weeks later and didn't put a hoof out of line.

He's 6 tomorrow and I'm ever hopeful the bouncy stage will blow over.

Travelling is only hacking to venue about 1.5 miles away

Seems a good thing to do going out once or twice a week. It's not like you have a four hour journey to the venue.
