A little later in the season than planned due to transport issues but we’re finally back out at Poplars Farm equestrian utilising their lovely grass 4km farm ride for some faster training work. It’s got plenty of turns, some nice steep sections and good grassy ground, and only 15mins drive from the yard. So it’s perfect for getting in some consistent, longer and faster work in.
We usually do between 10-20km (3-5 laps) once a week at a mix of speeds depending on what the focus is for that training block. The van breaking down has given me the reminder that I’m lucky and should be grateful to even have horse transport and so many lovely facilities to box to near by.
The van has to go back to the garage next week, so we’ll be out of action again. But I’m really looking forward to being able to get into a good routine with our training and enjoy the summer competition season!
