Re: [RC] What type of training? Now Hills - Dabney Finch
Oh that's an excellent
point. Absolutely. As Bobbi Richine (RMTC) said in a situation
about rating a really hot horse, "hills are the great equalizer."
They'll get the
message quickly (as Karen pointed out), and there's certainly less risk to
those young legs....
"...Generally the horses I've known that
weren't legged up also didn't have the fitness to go very far at speed, and so
were able to learn that's speeds not a big deal ..."
It also helps to have mountains.
Stevie has been learning to rate quite well. I partly think it is
because if required I can point him uphill for as long as it takes for him to
realize that sometimes the trail just keeps comming at you.
