What I do is in the winter I put a few pounds in the saddle bags and once, sometimes twice a day when I'm doing the farm work I saddle my horse with the saddle bags and let her out for about half an hour. I find it keeps her muscles in shape on the days thet it's just too cold to ride. I don't put as much as my weight, though, since the cold air makes you breathe harder. I still have to ease her into it but it doesn't take as long.
