| If it's a greeny that hasn't been in work very long then it's going to take him some time to develope muscle. The more consistent he gets in work, the more muscle he will build. My horse is currently lame and on lay up for 3-10 more months, but I already have planned some exercises to bring him back into work when the time comes. Hill work! I love hills. The main thing you need to remember is to stay in control. You can't let him just run up the hill as he pleases because it won't do him any good. Ground poles and then cavalettis! WTC over them, put them on a circle or straight line. It will help him loosen and lift his back, push from behind, and help him become a little lighter on his feet. Once he's solid on basic flatwork like WTC and transitions you can start introducing some lateral work like leg yields, renvers, travers, haunches-in, shoulder-in, shoulder fore, ect.

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance… |
