09.01.2022 Training for long term soundness The later we can start riding our horses and the more preparation and conditioning we can do beforehand the better. When sta...rting a young horse it's important to ensure he constantly works in a good posture. Avoid expecting the horse to carry too much weight for too long or too often. Avoid working him when he is tired. Understanding the maturation of growth plates can help reduce the strain we put on joints. It also enables us to train more sympathetically and make informed decisions about the type of movements we ask of our horses, how often and for how long we train. To discover more about this subject, there's a whole chapter about skeletal maturity in Gillian's book Posture and Performance. https://www.horsesinsideout.com/p/posture-and-performance-1
