I mix up my show horses routines so they never get soured....if we are in show season and they are in the ring 3 out of 7 days...I will mostly hack or do working hacks to round out their schedules.<br />
<br />
If they are in training...I will incorporate hacks one or two days to break up the routine.<br />
<br />
I also like to swim with the horses...good for fitness and a real change from the same ole same old.

My QH used to go arena sour every spring - he simply would not put any effort into anything we did in the arena. I used to hack down the road and through the woods for the 2-3 weeks it took for the outside rings to become rideable (dry enough). When we picked up the work again he was ready and willing and a full participant again.<br />

I also used to give my QH two weeks off in late fall. No riding, no fussing, just feeding. When I started riding again he was very happy to be doing stuff again and…
