Episode #40: Over-Training / Under-Training
Deciding on a training strategy is one of the biggest challenges for sport horse trainers and riders.
Do horses actually do best with time off? What does “downtime” for the fit horse in competition season look like? How can we keep our horses fresh and fit all at the same time?
When do you train at 100% effort and how does this affect peaking your horse’s performance for big classes?
Management of fitness programs not only makes for better results, but also can make or break an equine athlete physically.
Join me for this episode where I talk training intensity strategies. I dive into how to assess your horse’s external factors, internal factors and individual case history to make a solid individual training program.
