With Jenny Adamson, Equine Physiotherapist & Rehabilitation Specialist
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.
Winter can make everything feel harder — the weather, the dark evenings, the mud, the lack of time. But winter isn’t a season to pause your horse’s progress. It’s a season to step back, simplify, and build strength in small, meaningful ways.
When the temperature drops, many horses move less — they stand in more, their muscles tighten, and joints can feel a little creaky. But winter doesn’t have to mean losing strength, suppleness, or progress.
