Building up muscle without any kit

I'm going to be loaning a horse and I need to build up his muscles. Have you got any good exercises that don't use any poles or anything, just an empty indoor school?

Canter strike-offs! From trot, and best of all from walk, with just a couple of canter strides before you bring him back. These strengthen the horse in several ways, and they make you work on your communication too 💫 win win! Hacking out through the woods and climbing over logs and stones, or working up and down hills, is another very effective way to build muscle.
