With the biggest shoots quickly approaching, tell me what you do to get your horse in top shape for major competitions.

We make sure our horses are fit and healthy. By the time we're on the road to the World, they've been worked several days a week for months on end and are fresh from the farrier. We also emphasize updated vaccinations for travel. I also utilize Red Cell Compete and Red Cell Recovery products - great for our performance horses who work so hard for us on the road!

Thank you Denny!


One point you made that struck a cord with me. You mentioned that your horses are worked for months prior to the major competition.. I have noticed some mid level riders just starting to leg their horses up one month or so before a big shoot. It always seemed to me that more time was needed to get a horse fit enough for this sport.

From Lisa Jean DeGeare's FACEBOOK page:

" Keeping your competition horse legged is vital for winning!
I am always hearing people say - I haven't been on my horse for months or since the last shoot 6 or 12 weeks ago, etc , etc. Then the horse goes out blows up, doesn't run as hard, or ends up getting muscle sore.

I am a stickler for keeping my competition horse legged up!

Lilly gets long trotted a mile and a 1/2, loped 2 miles, then slow worked in the arena doing counter arcs and rollbacks every single day. She doesn't get worked on shooting until the matches but she doesn't get breaks or vacation days!

Keep your horse legged up!!"
