The first of a trilogy or webinars on how to train smarter, and not harder. To start training right for your horse you first have to know your horse.
But of course you know your horse! But do you? In an endurance sense? There are so many factors that are part of how your horse can do (or will do) endurance. Every horse has different intrinsic abilities (i.e. a different combination of heart, lungs, types of muscles and thermoregulation). Every horse is built differently, moves different, and we all ride a little different as well!
This is an introductory video about Series 4 where we "Turn theory into actual training". We apply everything we have learned in the previous series to know how to use suitable training techniques for our individual equine athlete.In this series we learn how to make the all important training schedule (our own, not copying someone else's!), but we ...

Some might want that 100 miler, some might want "that special ride" and some want to win the biggest races. Big goals are amazing, but often there i...
Now the schools have started again, the structure of "normal" life has started once more. And what better time for us to do some "studying" as well? In my coaching I often get asked about heartrate monitors, which one to use and how to use them. They can be a super tool to aid your training so that's why I will start with 2 webinars...
This video tells you all you can expect about series 3: Training principles for endurance. It is the theoretical framework for training, but I promise you I will not make it more scientific than I need to be. My whole method of getting your horse fit is based on training and exercise physiology but translated into my easier and palatable...
Let me tell you a bit about all you can find in the Groen Equestrian endurance community. I have created the largest (and still increasing) platform of information on endurance, perhaps even in the world, to share what I have learned in over 20 years of endurance. I have always wanted to create an "endurance library" and here it is! I fe...
