As I’m legging Swatch back up for 2026, I’m trying to avoid pushing the fitness work into our schedule to fast. Even though we’re sound physically, the horse has done zero cardio, zero weight lifting (dressage), just hacking for a few weeks. I can’t expect to go gallop and jump 1.20m. Even if he would go do those things on the day, you’re going to have a sore horse the next day. . We’re not cleared to go on the water treadmill yet, that’s been my secret sauce for his fitness . So it’s slow trotting , maybe a touch of canter to remind myself how, and more walking. . See you guys in 2026! .
