That feeling. When you had the best of intentions about what a ride was going to be like for you and your horse. Only to realise, 15 to 20 minutes into the ride, that you are 'beat'! Your legs are just not doing what you want them to do. Your head and shoulders feel like they weigh a tonne and self-carriage on your part is just exhausting! And as for coordination and concentration; nope and nope!

If you are noticing a pattern where you're feeling physically 'done' 20 or so minutes into each of your riding sessions with your horse, you need to begin working on changing that for you and your horse.

Physical fitness is an essential part of improving as a rider. You don't have to be as fit as a flea, but there is a certain level of physical abilities that are essential if you are to improve as a rider - and as a trainer for your horse.

The good news is that there are a few simple key areas you can focus on in your next ride so that when you hit that point where you're feeling tired, you will have a few 'go to' exercises and practices to help you squeeze out a few more minutes of goodness in your training!
