Canter exercises for fitness
I could do with some help finding good canter exercises to get my horse's fitness up, any tips on exercises? 😊😊
Answers from HayHay's experts
Canter intervals are an excellent way to build your horse's fitness. Beyond the intervals themselves, the canter strike-offs are strengthening in their own right. You do not need to ride the canter for many strides, and it works well to vary where you ask for it, from trot, from walk, and even from halt once you have built up enough rideability.
