The Components of My Daily Riding Routine
Often I am asked how long you should ride for. Generally I ride for 45 minutes to an hour. But in my opinion, I don't think it really matters how long you ride. What is important is that when you get off your horse, they are a better horse than when you got on. Not necessarily better than they were yesterday or a week ago, but better than they were when you swung a leg over today.
