My version of giving a horse time off means no structured vigorous 
training but I still ride the horse on fun 3-4 hour hacks, trailer to 
the beach, mountains, desert, easy stuff, walking, light trotting, 
night rides. If I come across some good grass I get off, unbridle and 
let the horse graze for a while. A cowboy buddy of mine called these 
"nerve rides" cause once a month working cow horses were taken out of 
rotation, ridden out a ways, unbridled and let graze, ride some more, 
let graze, etc. to break the work routine and settle their nerves. 
Works for me too.  Don Huston
