The best way to start your new season training for soundness and performance by Dr David Marlin and Dr Gillian Tabor Every year, many horses and ponies go lame during training or simply fail to reach a good fitness level. Early season training is a vital foundation that can help to reduce the risk o...

When you are starting a training programme, for your horse or for yourself, whether it be for general fitness or for rehab (my own shoulder right now!!), the same principles apply.

Make a start, then increase EITHER the number of repetitions which will equate to duration OR the intensity/effort put in.

Regarding riding that could be walking for 20 minutes, then walking for 15 with 5 one minute trots, so total duration is still 20 minutes. Then build up time secondly.

Might sound obvious but often we get carried away and don't build a strong foundation of endurance and strength before getting to the higher levels of training.

**THURSDAY RESEARCH MEME**

Todays meme relates to browband fit.

Correct bridle fit is essential. Attention is given to the fit of the noseband but, other bridle features are also important to consider.

A browband which is to small, will pull the headpiece forward and cause localised pressures at the base of the ears and in the region of the TMJ. Previously we have demonstrated the effect that increased pressures at the base of the ears and TMJ can have on equine Locomotion.

All bridle features should be considered and reinforces the importance of correct bridle fit and working with a qualified bridle fitter.
