Woohoo! A new month and a new Charming Challenge!
January’s Monthly Motivation (and a fan favorite from Jan 2022): “Strong and Stretching into the New Year”
To kick off the new year, you’ve got four tasks to complete to get both you and your Haflinger off to a strong and stretching start.
1) A core workout for you – Whether it’s a plank challenge you saw on Facebook, a video you found on youtube, or a gym session with a trainer, get those abs activated!
2) A stretch session for you – same deal only we’re limbering up what you just tightened. Tell those hamstrings your toes aren’t so far away!
3) Ground pole work for your horse – lead, lunge, long line or ride over some poles and improve your horse’s coordination.
And 4) Muscle activations for your horse (aka “carrot stretches”) – side bends, tail pulls and belly lifts are all GREAT ways to get your horse’s core working too!
Remember to share what exercises you did and where you found them and earn your strength charm!
