Episode #17: 5 Mistakes to Avoid Going into Show Season

With the excitement of show season being just around the corner, now is often a time when we increase workouts to get ready for the spring circuit.

Halt!

Before you get going, it’s important to have a close look at your horse’s tissue preparation. You should be making a plan for long-term success, and map out the best way to reach long term goals.

In this episode I will outline and explain the 5 mistakes to avoid going into show season. These include:

  • Too much focus on skill acquisition and not enough focus on tissue preparedness.

  • Too much training on the same footing.

  • Too much focus on getting ready for the first show/ not enough focus on staying sound for the whole season.

  • Having no baseline for mobility and no frequent check-ins on your horse’s body.

  • Not being sure your horse has a good base for increased workload.

Let’s get you ready for success the whole season long!
