Question of the Day: I recently inherited an amazing trail horse but he is old, 20-24, and has been sitting for 3 years. Do you have any tips for getting him back in shape in a gentle way?

In this episode, we discuss how to get a horse who has been out of work for sometime onto the trail and in shape. We look into hoof care, body issues, such as arthritis and tension, and how we can approach our conditioning using a long, slow distance program. We highlight that the most important piece is to get good at reading your horse and knowing when he can go further and when it has been too much for him.
