If you’re not already actively conditioning your horse, its time to start.

I’m looking for input on how people condition their horses. I’ll start the article by listing a few conditioning techniques I’ve always used. Feel free to add comments about what has worked for you.

1, Start slow. Almost any trainer will tell you its best to start slowly and condition over a period of time. You’ll have less injuries if you build muscle slowly.

2, Work out regularly. If you make riding a habit, you’ll be more likely to do it. It becomes part of your ritual.

3, Get a training parnter. If you have someone who is also conditioning their horse to ride with it will help you stay committed to your goal.

Okay, let me hear your conditioning secrets.
