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...
In the previous blog, I told you about logging the distance, duration, average speed, and elevation of your training sessions. Adding indexes for climb and canter gives a selection of great parameters to compare training and see how you progress. But these numbers do not tell you anything about how your horse actually experiences the effort du...
This webinar focuses on how to avoid elimination. Because although we often like to contribute elimination at rides to bad luck, more often than not it is something that could have been avoided.
In this webinar, I will try to make you aware of the factors that can contribute to elimination, so you can work on avoiding those. Both in training AND during your actual ride.
It is quite a long webinar with loads of information. It is in2 parts because of a little blib in my wifi connection but that will give you a nice break as well (though the 2nd part is the longer one!)
My audience in this webinar was mostly novice or a little more experienced, but I feel this is a webinar that would really benefit those that are looking to up their game in distance and/or speed or in technical challenges.
This is the first in a series of articles I wrote for the EGB endurance magazine in 2023. I have added it as a blog as well for you to enjoy and use. You can find all follow up articles in the Free GE Community, so have a look there for a lot of information. I (well, really hubby and me ? ) bought a new car. Our older (very fuel-efficient) diesel n...
You would think that you would ride the same as you so in training as you would when competing and this can be the case, but it needn't be. Especially for longer distances that have more challenges you would want to make sure you keep your horse with enough energy to finish the ride safely. In our training we should primarily focus on stamina train...
In this tutorial we will really focus on how the energy to propel the horse forward is being created and the difference between the different substrates. Glycogen and fatty acids are the main fuel for the muscles (in a way, because the real source of energy is ATP, a molecule that is made out of the fuel sources. We will talk about the ...
