There are a lot of great suggestions here! I’d like to give you one more idea – walk and trot poles to help your overall topline condition. My horses live in my backyard and I have a great arena, but no hills or trails unless I haul out. So, as a part of our regular warm up we do cavaletti and poles. Encourage your horse to stretch down as much as possible. Hope this helps!
