Tip/Quote of the Day # 1407
"Don’t do too much with young horses. I do 20 minutes with most four year olds. Walk, trot, canter, on the bit, straight. Educate them in a really easy way, relaxed trot, easy canter, work on steering and control, and work from there. With a bigger horse, like this one, I’d do less, because they wear out quicker." ~ Charlotte Dujardin
