Horse training uphill-downhill how long per unit?
I'm just starting to build up my horse's muscles again. He doesn't enjoy the open space at all and actually finds it a bit too small for him, so we'd like to use the trail exclusively.
When does uphill/downhill running become effective? So, how long do I need to run uphill and downhill with him in one session?
And how many times a week should I do this with him?
Is walking better for the back and buttocks or trotting/cantering when going uphill?
Thanks in advance! 😊

it is enough to run 45 minutes daily with the horse with a tempo of 6km/h. or at least 4 or 5 times a week.
you can also start with 10 minutes and slowly increase – I know only a few people who are able to keep a pace of 6km/h for more than 10 minutes. the horse also has to learn to go so flott in step without constantly jogging. I would start by also glocking at the front and gaitering at the back so that the horse, until it has learned to sort his legs accordingly, is protected from running injuries.
the 6km/h apply throughout, whether it is going straight or uphill or downhill.
on tact and let loose
It is important that it only goes downhill on the way back when the horse is really warmed up through and through.
in the case of gradients and slopes it is important that these are light and uniform and are as always the same and always straight as possible over larger stretches. that is called interval training and is the most effective way to get the horse fit.
against this form of training, any space work is extremely exciting.
muscle and condensation without damaging tendons, straps and joints works ONLY when the workout is continuous and always uniform.
Difficult gears on climbs only with highly trained horses, otherwise the knees suffer!
Increase, frequency etc after feedback of the horse.
It is necessary to have learned how to assess – a prerequisite for being able to work without a trainer. When I read that space is too boring to the horse, I fear that there was a lot of teaching missed.
against the training she has, is also the most boring job exciting. for the author.
the horse is not bored. neither at one or the other. what transmits itself is of course the lustlessness of man.
that’s nothing else on the ground. if the person laughs next door, staring at his smartphone or having a girlfriend and walking comfortably and making a plump and the horse has only come along, then this is not a training.
I’ve got him for three years, he’s himself 22 years. He was a carriagehorse and was never a horse. And our riding place is simply not really suitable for him. I don’t do anything with him anymore, which does not give him any fun and walk in the grounds/joggen etc. has always been the more beautiful version for him. He should still fully enjoy his years, that he definitely couldn’t stay in all his years. The fun factor is always in the first place! And then the other things come. I’d rather spend my hours at the stable in the woods and co. than on a sandfield, so I can’t blame him anyway.
This has nothing to do with my question. We’ve been driving for years.
And this is not about the lustlessness of man, but also about him and his age. Even horses do not always have a good day, older horses anyway. And I also notice it as soon as it gets warmer to a few degrees, the constellation in the herd changes, etc. I’m dealing with him at walks, because he’s my balance with everyday life.
And that it can and does so, I see on the basis of our relationship and is therefore also the greatest confirmation at all, as any of the Internet that would like to teach me in any action & action.
I usually do so 20 minutes, if at all, at the moment I don’t really do it, but I would recommend you 3 times a week 20 minutes, that I always did at that time, and has helped the horse well
20min per mountain up and per mountain down or in total? Is there the pitch of a roll or no matter what?
I would go up for 10 minutes and make 10 minutes downhill.. you should pay attention to the climb, but is not really important.
the standing is the most important.
and in 20 minutes the metabolism is not yet activated.
I’d say a total of 20 minutes. 10 uphill and 10 downhill.
Galopp is usually more strenuous for the horses, but you can only do when the horses are warmed up.
you do it in the SHIFT.
