My cob sweats up after a mile or so of mostly walk and some trot.She is quite wooly .She has poor looking muscle tone to me - wobbly neck for eg but what do i know im new to this but it just looks like it to me..
I think that she was prev ridden in a school and on a ten min circlar hack on grass before in got her a few weeks ago.What type of riding would be recommended to get her fit so that she can join in with beagle rambles- these are training/social sessions for local hunt which is ten to 12 miles x 2 a week on farm land and roads to train horses up for hunt- i only want to do the training sessions they are fun and socilable and you get to see brilliant off track views as farmenrs open land which is not normally accessible- went on half of one but decided to get a lift back half way as pony was too sweaty.She was game - head up ,looking alert and happy, but dripping .
I presume it wd mean lots of walking up hills and hacking down to build strength ,muscle and stamina..i think she is unbalalanced and struggles to go down hill slolwy and i have been practicing this.
So 1.what type of riding is required and 2. how often a week . thankyou !!!
