What fitness exercises can you suggest for an old horsewoman who hasn’t been on a horse in several years but wants to try riding again?
I’m just not ready to quit, and I’ve just found a good trainer who has some good lesson horses.
Are there any specific exercises I can do to work on my core and my stamina?
Are there any unmounted exercises/games the horse and I could try together until I feel up to riding him (or if I never do)?
I used to free lunge our Shetland who had no kids to ride her but needed exercise. We made things up as we went along but I can’t remember how we got started.
I would be happy paying for grooming and bonding sessions right now but I want this sweet horse to enjoy our time too.
