•“I typically do not work my horses for more than 1.5 hours in any given day. If I am looking to make the workout more intense, I will have them trot most of that time or they can do more hill work. Typically,
the actual speed and endurance
test does not take much longer than 1.5
hours so I don’t think there is any point in hacking your horse for hours on end. The combination of schooling and hacking is essential for building up strength and balance.
