<< I have lots of good hills, but have had some back problems(last 6-8
months) since moving here (2 1/2 years). I corrected some problems
that were keeping his back hollow and now having trouble getting him
to round up. We are doing lots of cavaletti, but I'm kinda scared
to get back on the hills.

Would be very interested in training exercises for this.

Becky,

You have to be very careful with hills. They're great exercise, but not
exercise-to-fatigue kind of exercise. I would spend 3-1 of my exercise time
on the flat--doing strong exercise that will support hill work--and then
attack the hills with a fresh horse, never letting him become fatigued enough
to lose form.
