Question

really this is homework from my instructor,but i cant find it any where so if you do know can you put it in separate paragraphs one for every week. (there are six weeks altogether!) and please hurry i need to give it in on saturday!

Answer 1

Ride him. Be easy with him if you haven't ridden in a while.

You need a book to know this? What? Ya live in Brooklyn or something?

Answer 2

The best way to learn something is to do it yourself.

Think about it in human terms and you will come up with lots of things that will work.

If you were training for a half marathon, and you had 6 weeks, had a weight problem to overcome how would you start.

You would restrict your diet and start eating to fuel your body instead of junk along with exercise are some of the first things. You can think this through, work on it. It is a project. You can do this.

Answer 3

You should be doing this yourself, not getting other people to do your homework for you. I'll give you ideas though.

-Restrict grazing

-Exersize timetable, 6 days a week 1 day off

- Different sorts of exersize, lunging, schooling hacking

- Show how the difficulty level and duration of the exercise increases every week as the horse's fitness progresses.

Now go do your homework!!
