Help!
My mare is currently living at a place which is free but ring/arena-less. That means we ride in the yard or the pasture. But with all the nasty, nasty weather lately it’s been really hard because it absolutely tears up the ground. With three horses on three acres we really can’t afford to lose any pasture and obviously I’m not allowed to just tear the yard up. So lately I’ve been doing hill sets on one tiny strip of pasture and trying to keep the damage minimal. However, I’m thinking about branching out to the dirt road beside the house.
My question is, any suggestions for straight line exercises? The road isn’t even big enough to do 10 M circles and I don’t want to do anything too intense because it’s very hard packed and I worry about her knees. I have to do SOMETHING though! No work is driving us both crazy!
