Fitness training for horses doesn't have to be difficult or complex. If you can comfortably walk, trot, canter and gallop your horse and you have a space you can canter comfortably, you can improve your horse's fitness by doing interval training (hiit for horses!) and get your horse fit, fast.
Things to bear in mind!
1. Each and every horse is an individual. The time their fitness takes to improve will differ. So, be patient!
2. Stick at it! You wont see results over night.
3. Consistency is key. Try to set goals each week, i.e. flatwork x 2, hack x 2, lunge x 1, jumping x 1, rest day x 1.
4. Keep it fun for your horse! It should be exciting for them (don't just do one thing all the time!).
Aim to be exercising your horse as often as you can, whilst still allowing them a couple of rest days each week.
Both exercise and food are really important to get your horse fit. It is also hugely beneficial to have regular visits from the farrier, vet and dentist. This becomes even more vital if you are getting your horse fit after an injury. Remember that there are no shortcuts when it comes to fitness, so don't expect miracles in week one. If you ever feel that things are moving slowly just remember your end goal and remain focused.
