This!❤️💪
We’re going into the holidays and that means a lot of people are hanging up their halters and turning their horses out for a much deserved break.

Did you know after just 3 weeks off work, a horse can lose up to 50% of its cardiovascular fitness and significant muscle tone - especially in the topline and hindquarters. Those powerful muscle groups are the first to soften when workload drops, and the last to rebuild. It can take 6 to 8 weeks of consistent, structured conditioning to regain what was lost after a few weeks off.

Keeping your horse conditioned is about more than just stamina, it protects their joints, strengthens tendons and soft tissue and can help prevent injury.
