Summer Stress

I see alot of people who don't ride much all winter long (and often stop in the fall and don't start again until the end of spring) and ride all the time during the summer and then wonder why their horse is either not able to keep up, gets sore, or sour, etc. Its important to think about how you would feel if you had sat on your butt all year and then suddenly had someone tell you to run 3-5 times a week. While consistent exercise is best it is important to ease back into an active schedule for your horse as well.
