Winter rehab tips: how four 20-minute walk-based sessions a week can build your horse's strength, posture and flexibility by spring, instead of a winter off.
Most horse owners think in-hand work isn't for them. Here's why they're wrong — and the simple building block approach that starts with standing square and ends with a horse who already knows shoulder-in.
As we head towards the end of the year, the weather is unpredictable, the days are short and motivation comes and goes. Winter asks you to choose how you support your horse, rather than drifting into doing nothing or feeling guilty for not riding.
For some of us, winter exercise for our horses isn’t optional. If you’re rehabbing, starting post-rehab strength work, or supporting a senior horse, keeping your horse moving through the colder months is simply non-negotiable for their health.
