equine fitness

Equine fitness refers to the horse's physical condition and ability to perform its intended activities effectively and comfortably. It involves a balance of strength, stamina, flexibility, and soundness, developed through proper exercise, diet, and management. Regular, tailored training enhances muscle tone, cardiovascular health, and joint mobility, reducing injury risk. Monitoring fitness ensures the horse remains healthy, performs optimally, and recovers well from exertion. It’s a dynamic process that adapts to the horse’s age, discipline, and individual needs, emphasizing gradual progress and overall wellness.
