Re: [RC] hillwork - Barbara McCrary

I think you will find that as your horse does more and more hills, his muscle mass will increase and "pushing instead of pulling" will become natural.  I started a virtual flatlander 22 months ago and you should see him now!  He does a running walk up the steeper hills and a trot up the more moderate ones.  Time and conditioning will take care of this issue.

I am going camping in the mountains for a couple of days and need some advice on how to help a flatlander horse to learn to push up hills instead of pull up them. Any advice at all will be greatly appreciated.
