How does everyone deal with not only your horse getting bored during
training and conditioning over the same trail, but yourself. The other day
when we went out it is like i know every rock, every leaf on every tree,
every hole and every limb. It was like I'm so sick of the same day after
day training ground. There must be something to help. Most of you
especially in California and the western states probably have more area than
i do on a 4x4 island but still you only have so much. Really too I' m more
concerned with my horse. If I'm bored what about him. He does act
sluggish, like oh no not again. I try to change things and sometimes make
him go the 5 mile training loop doing it very slow and at a walk or jog
collected all the way or doing different things like shoulders in or lateral
from side to side on the trail or other things doing with training. Is it
good to give them a month or so off or continue or what. Any help out
there? Shareeka from Big PIne Key, Florida
