How to prepare my Arab gelding for endurance racing?

Question

I've been wanting to get into endurance racing for as long as I can remember, and recently purchased an Arabian gelding who I'd like to begin with. How do I go about conditioning him? I've taken him on 2 hour trail rides and he is full of energy all the way through and is actually in fair condition already. If anyone has like a sample exercise routine (maybe a weekly Mon-Sun type of schedule) that would be great! I have hilly trails, fields, and gravel roads to work with. Thanks!

Answer 1

Well first look up the site for endurance Ridding

I am sure there are trainers there that can help you ,,

Just remember its not about going fast ,

He has to be fit and so do you,

You have to learn the heart rates and how to cool him down,

Many many rules you have to learn ,,

Answer 2

one hour work outs in early morning and late evening for 30 days

top condition for endurance/stamina/speed

Answer 3

I also have an Arab gelding ( aren't they the best?)  If you have a hill go up and down it for at least thirty minutes a day...great exercise! Do you have any water? Trotting through a pond or river is great, too.
