OK, it's a long story that I won't bore you with but for one reason or another my husbands flat racer is now in my yard 'off season' ready to go back into training in feb/march.
He's not fit, he missed most of the last season (even though he is not injured). He takes ages to get fit so we are starting now so he is ready for the start of next season - (if he stayed in training he wouldn't be doing anything now other than walking out).
massive small problem is that I don't know anything about getting flat racers fit, I work with them when they retire and i'm very good at calming them down, but that's really not what we want to do here - DH will kill me if I do this!
So what would be a good work program?
I have at my disposal an arena, a 400m sand track and hacking out (but not on roads and the tracks are very rocky!) - no hills :(
Currently he's doing 30min trotting work early morning and 15min walking out in the afternoon. He's been doing this for 2.5weeks.
