[RC] reconditioning an ex long distance horse - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Tamara brickie46@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Tamara brickie46@xxxxxxxxxxxxx I am planning to restart conditioning my pony with a view to doing rides from next year ( thats only next week!). I am in the UK and have limited time to hack out mid week during the winter as I dont get to the yard till 6.30/7 in the evening after work. I have access to good facilites (indoor and outdoor arenas) for mid week schooling plus quiet lanes for weekend /summer evening hacking. He lives out during the day on 17 acres and in at night. My pony has done upto 50 mile rides in the past. He has had a 4 year break from rides and has done showing and dressage so hes a little 'well covered'. He is quite a muscly type )welsh cob). can anyone suggest a good conditioning/training regime? I am not aiming for race rides , just graded rides of upto 50 miles . I will stick to 20 and 30 miles this coming year to see how it goes. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
