EGB magazine 2 How to gauge the efforts of our horse in work

pic-2

In the previous article, I told you about the fuel efficiency of our horses, using a hybrid car analogy. Unfortunately, I won't be as anecdotal in this article but I'll try to illustrate where I can.

Train smarter 3. Optimising and unlocking potential

2022-12-11-1

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.

I will tell you all about it in this recording:

Have a look:
