As eventers, we have a pretty good understanding of the value of cross training. We also recognize the benefits of spending some time outside of the arena on a nice hack — it can do wonders for our horses’ fitness and wellbeing, after all.

In this video, dressage rider Amelia Newcomb offers us no less than three exercises that can be easily incorporated into your trail rides — just in time for prime winter hacking season!
