Training never just begins full out. We have to prepare the horses tissues for what is coming later on. In this tutorial I will explain the different phases I recognise and use in my training approach so that the horse will work in a safe way towards a peak fitness for the goal(s) we have set.

Goals! Plenty of those, I want to do 160 km! Oh wait, do they need to be feasible? I'm afraid that goals are not the same as dreams… But we can all dream of course, and try to make them true. I have done it, so why wouldn't you too? But we have to start small, learn about our capacities and take steps up every time. It takes a minimum of...
