I've seen a few posts about cantering on the stubble...... would you canter on concrete??? No!! As tempting as it is please think 🙏
As tempting as this looks… please don’t do it!!
Firstly, have you got permission from the farmer to even be on there? (I’m actually on a bridleway next to the stubble)
But right now even if you do you’d be better galloping on the road. The ground is hard, rutted, cracked and stony. It’s asking for an injury.
‘Oh but she wanted to canter so I let her!’ ‘It can’t have been that hard as I had no breaks!’ NOT an excuse. Your horse has no idea how that canter will make them feel later that day.
Take this time to improve the long forgotten walk. We’re all guilty of not doing enough of it when schooling so nows your chance!
