I was wondering if anyone had any tips on building muscle on both hind legs?
I know it is a combination of, stiff hinds normally, not being ridden for 3 weeks :cry: and running out of his supplement, but got on Ace for a lesson today first time in months, and he felt 'normal' to me but a friend who is a AI was given me a lesson and wasn't too sure about his hinds, he was tripping a bit also. So we went out on the road and trotted him up and he felt much better his trot was smooth, short but always is until he is really warmed up and his stride lengthens. Anyway back in the school and she got on, and I was like :hot: this aint his normal!!!! His back legs where just not his 'normal' stiff legs.
So have phoned the supplier of supplement and demanded they send it as they forgot last week to bring with my hay, and I want to get some kind of training programme started, as he needs to be in work to help with his stiffness. But it does get a bit boring doing the same :wink:
I used to do a lot of hills work in walk but not that many where we are now, never tried long reining but willing to learn, can lunge albeit not brill. Would pole work help?
Thanks x
