I've come away from my Spring Break with a few revelations. The first is that if I find a place closer to school that has pasture board and that I can afford, I would move Gali up here with me. I miss him too much during the school year. That's a huge "if" though, and I doubt I'll find it.
The second is that he is terribly out of shape for the first time since the summer. I didn't push him this weekend, but I've got to really revamp my program. I wanted to show him 4/15 at DVHA's draft show, but I am going to hold off until 5/20, because he is so unfit.
I'm going to do some reading and think about my training program this week, and begin it next week.
I got this book http://www.amazon.com/Equine-Fitness-Program-Exercises-Routines/dp/1603424636/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332371837&sr=8-1 recently and LOVED it. It might be too basic to someone who knows a lot about fitness, but it was interesting and has a lot of great exercises on cool cards you can tear out of the book. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteOoh, thanks for the recommendation! I'll order it when I get paid tomorrow.
