How to Use These Routines
Week 1: Follow the recommended exercises and repetitions daily for six days, followed by free exercise, which can include turnout in a large area, easy longeing without side-reins, or a gentle hack on a trail. During these six days, avoid your “normal” riding or workouts that would perpetuate existing postural habits.
