How often do you ride your horse
no imparticular reason. i just would like to know. i just wanted to know. i've been riding my horse a lot latley.
Answers:I try to ride my horse 5 days a week, preferably three days in a row with a day off, then several more days in a row with another day off. I have some flexibility on this as I don't have an indoor arena so I have to work around the weather!
This keeps both my horse and myself fit and toned without overdoing it. The day off allows my horse's joints and muscles to rest and can prevent stress injuries. Plus everyone needs a day off to just relax and animals are no exception. I just make sure that my horse is turned out in pasture as much as possible, especially on the days that I'm not riding.
The average horse is worked too little, by far, instead of too much! Just consider what type of work you're doing though. Lunging and working on small circles is much harder on their joints and feet than trail riding or working in straight lines. And young horses that are still growing also need a lighter work load than a mature horse.
Have fun and enjoy your horse.
I have a steel horse and ride her danged near every day!
I dont have one anymore, but when I did, it was boarded at a stable about 2-3 miles from my house. Unfortunately I only got to go about once a week...every Saturday morning. I would stick around for a while though and groom him, feed him, etc. but the stable took care of everything else. I would have liked to have gone more, but I was young with no car and when I did get a car, I was too busy being a teen and on the go to go riding. I miss him though.
Riding them is good-- it gets them plenty of exercise. I would make sure that they are getting plenty to eat and lots of water because you're working it so hard... especially if it's hot where you live. I ride my horse about once a week- twice if I'm lucky.. but only because we have 12 horse stalls to clean each morning.. and by the time I'm done, I'm too exhausted to ride!
i ride mine every day 4 m30 min to give her her workout
i would say u should give your horse 1 day off maybe 2 in the summer and ride every other day
The proper amount of time is 5 hours each day, but i find that way to long but it gives your horse just the right amount of exersise, so i just go along with it...Good luck
in the winter i dont ride her as much b/c i dont have shows to work for
