I make sure to ride Solitaire at least once or twice a week on a NON-TRAINING ride! A nice, fun, relaxed, walking trail ride. Sometimes "over-conditioning" teaches the horses that to go out on trail is to go at the trot - and they will fight to do so. Well rounded training has been the key for me in keeping Solitaire....um...well rounded! :o) Hope that helps.
