equine exercise

Equine exercise involves structured physical activity tailored to a horse's age, health, and use, aimed at maintaining or improving its fitness, strength, and overall well-being. It includes activities like walking, trotting, cantering, and work on tracks or in arenas, regulated to prevent injury and promote soundness. Proper exercise helps develop muscle, enhance cardiovascular health, support mental stimulation, and prepare the horse for specific tasks or events. Balancing exercise with appropriate rest and nutrition is essential for optimal performance and longevity in the horse's life.
