Why Your Horse Isn’t Building Topline (And What Actually Works!) — with Jec Ballou


Listen Later

In this episode of The Elevated Equestrian Podcast, Samantha Baer is joined by equine fitness expert Jec Ballou to talk about all the things nobody teaches you about conditioning horses. We cover the real reason your horse struggles with topline, how to build strength without breaking them down, the difference between postural vs. gymnastic muscles, and why most horses are actually under-trained in the wrong areas. We also dive into productive lunging, how to tell if your horse is truly comfortable, and what fitness routines actually lead to sound, happy, long-lasting horses — no matter the discipline.

Perfect for eventers, dressage riders, OTTB lovers, and anyone obsessed with training for longevity over quick results.
