Most People Are Exercising Their Horse… Not Training Them
by: Jenny AdamsonPublished on: 04/05/2026There’s a difference between: Doing exercises…and training your horse. Exercises are individual pieces. Training is how those pieces are put together over time. And this is where things often get stuck. Because you can be doing all the right exercises… But if they’re not part of a clear structure, they won’t create lasting change.

Box rest doesn’t just affect fitness—it causes a massive loss of core strength. And that has long-term consequences if it’s not addressed.
