So, You Really Never Turn Your Horses Out?
We turn them out after they have been ridden, preferably in a round pen or small paddock and not accessible to other horses. We have seen more injuries due to turning horses out in large areas, especially if they are not used to it, then any other form of exercise. Horses that are trained properly put their energy into their work. None of our horses have stable vices nor seem discontented. They are always eager to go to work and the training sessions leave them in a relaxed state of mind and body. We turn them out on off days but monitor them closely.
