Re: [RC] Hillwork - Chris PausYou bet. I have a horse who looks like a completely different animal since I started doing hillwork with him. Two years ago I bought a scrawny, pointy butt, no muscle gray Arab gelding. When I posted his picture on a couple of horse boards, I got laughed at for buying this horse. I started working him on the steep hills at our local state park, (yes, there are hills in eastern Kansas). A few months later, I posted more pictures of the same horse... One person's comment, "Wow, that horse has been to the butt store and got himself a butt!" Nobody's laughing at this horse now. People think he's pretty cool and pretty darn sturdy! the hill work also developed his scrawny chest. It also helped his sense of balance and self confidence. Now this horse is my "do everything" horse.. he's a lesson horse, parade horse, show horse, CTR and endurance horse and my grandson's best buddy... chris --- Julie Fuller <natira121@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hills are an awesome way to condition with the added benefit of (usually) being a pretty place to ride. ===== "A good horse makes short miles," George Eliot Chris and Star BayRab Acres http://pages.prodigy.net/paus ============================================================ ...but then, I do ride my horses a lot more than most people ~ Karen Chaton ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
