Turnout plays a vital role in the physical and mental wellbeing of show jumping horses. Regular time outside supports joint health, muscle development, and mental relaxation.
Horses that enjoy adequate turnout often show improved focus under saddle and reduced stress behaviours. Whether young stock or competition horses, freedom of movement is essential for long-term soundness.
Balanced management includes both structured training and time to simply be a horse.
The beauty of being in Australia, means this is not a common problem, but it is something we should always be aware of.
