This webinar is part of 4 webinars to get ready for your upcoming endurance season. This is the third in the series.
In this one we look at the theoretical background of training for endurance, the different phases of our training season and how to turn that into a training plan that works for you and your horse with your own unique set of circumstances, abilities and weak links.

We have been working on this project for a while, and on Saturday 30th March, we began the first session of the Groen Equestrian 2024 Comparative Heart Rate Study in Banbury, Oxfordshire. As many of you have noticed, I am very interested in heart rates, particularly how various breeds of horses respond to the same workload and how we can provide be...

In the previous article, I told you about using your heartrate monitor when training. I hope you have found that helpful, and have started to use your heart monitor more. Not only to see when the HR drops low enough to vet, but also during training or other work to see how your horse responds to the intensity of the work you are asking it to do. In...

What a year. What a horse!A total of 8 rides ( 9 ride days) and 460 km (the most she's ever done), nearly 9000m (!!) elevation including the Golden Horseshoe 80 km and Red Dragon 80 km! In 2022 I have solely focused on competing Asphodele Larzac, my small (but huge ) amber champagne part bred Arab mare. So why is she both small ...

This is the last in a trilogy about "Training smarter, not harder". In the first one we focused on how every horse is different, because of its ability, its weaker links, circumstances and management. In the second we talked about all aspects involving training and resting.
In this webinar, I will explain how you can combine the knowledge about your individual horse with all of its individual circumstances and use your knowledge about training to do it right.
Some circumstances and weak links require us to go slower, focus on specific work and prerequisites before we can safely increase training. And we also need to realise that the type of ride we are preparing for can require a different way of training (and sometimes even per individual horse)
I will tell you all about it in this recording:

This is the second webinar in a trilogy about "Training smarter, not harder". In the previous one we focused on how every horse is different, because of its ability, its weaker links, circumstances and management.
In this recorded webinar we will go into what training actually is, how we know we are actually training, how much rest our horse needs after a training and when we are ready to train again, or "just work" our horse.
Have a look:

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 ...

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...

How you train, and whether you are doing too much or not enough will be different per horse and also for your goal… A cob training for a 40k in hills can find the work as hard as an Arab that is working to a 120k at high speed. How they train is different (or should be different). But all need to work via the same principle: prepare...

Tracking and logging! But that's not all, we need to interpret what we have done as well. We have to prepare our horse correctly for what is coming. Logging is the way to see what we are doing, if we are staying near our schedule and whether we are progressing or lacking behind. You can use a diary, or a spreadsheet to log, or use the Groen Eq...

So now we know how to make the training schedule we can finally get started with training! But how does the schedule actually work on a weekly base? When do we train, when do we rest, and is there anything in between? I'll explain about all in this 4th tutorial. Because it is super important to realise not all your riding needs to be...

How to make the training schedule: Once we have done all our preparations we can start working on the training schedule that brings is to our goal. In series 3we have talked about all the theory for training, but we will quickly look back at the phases of the season, the stimuli to use and how to increase the overall intensity bit by bit ...

Perhaps a slightly trickier tutorial as it is a bit more abstract compared to other tutorials. But it is very good to have an idea of what the aerobic and anaerobic thresholds are and what they can mean for your training. What we want to do in endurance is to create an equine athlete that can do a (very) long distance without getting fatigued....

Most of the time we are using one stimuli (or I should really say: change one stimuli), but there are reasons to combine more than one, ideally not within one ride, but in consecutive workouts. Sometimes you have to because it is part of your particular situation, but if you are in that situation it is vital to understand that your worklo...
