Making your training schedule can be hard: how much should you train, what rides to do, what about tapering, rest and other things you need to consider to compete your horse happy and healthy? Groen Equestrian can help. We have a lovely package to help you:3 recorded webinars and 2 30 minute face2face zoom sessions to give you the th...
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 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.

The workbook for this series is will help you make your training schedule. And you can log all your work with the excel sheet containing the intensity index. Some of the tutorials of this series are more informative than practical and the workbook will give you a summary of the information that is in the tutorials of this series. You can downl...

The workbook for this series is more of a handout than a workbook, though there are some practical exercises in it. It will also give you a synopsis to look back on all the tutorials in this series and to see when you might need to revisit a tutorial to get the ins and outs of the different training principles. You can download the ...

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 ...

You might have heard the term tapering, perhaps in other sports, or by other endurance riders. In this tutorial, I will explain what tapering is, the effect it has on your horse's fitness and when and how to use it correctly. Tapering is still a bit of a mystery in itself within sports physiology because it is not quite known how it works and how t...

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...

jTime for a bit of exercise physiology made simple. In this tutorial I'll explain how training actually works, what a stimulus is and to use it correctly. I'll let you in on one of the most important things about training: without rest, your training has no effect! I will tell you about which stimuli I use to work on increasing the workload of the ...
