I am currently full-leasing a lesson horse at my barn, and I was wondering how many days I should ride him in order to get him in shape? He is an older quarter horse, and I do jumping with him. He has moderate energy everyday no matter how much I ride him. My current schedule is this:
Sunday: Day off, just walking while lunging since he is still learning
Monday: 1 hour jumping lesson
Tuesday: Day off
Wednesday: Flatwork, not too intense but not super light either
Thursday: depending on school, day off or sometimes light hack
Friday: day off since I work right after school
Saturday: same as Wednesday
Also, keep in mind I am not allowed to jump unless I am in a lesson so I can only do flatwork Tuesday through Sunday. Any advice will be helpful!! Thanks!!
