[RC] one butt, two horses and a full time job - sherman
At one time I was conditioning 2 horses for myself and trying to
help my daughter keep her horse up also since she could only ride on the
weekends.. One week I’d ride one horse twice, the other horse once, the
next week I’d reverse the pattern. I’d pony my daughter’s
horse only once a week. Once thing that you should remember is that once a
horse is in condition, they are easy to bring back, and don’t require as
much conditioning to maintain conditioning, unless you’re racing. If I
were starting a youngster with my program I’d probably pony him on the
days I was riding the older horse, at least until I felt the youngster was in
very good condition.
