Training for Longevity Q&A

This week, Nicole from Team Amelia stepped in to answer your questions on keeping our golden oldies happy, healthy, and moving well into their senior years. Caring for older horses is both a responsibility and a privilege — and with the right adjustments, they can continue to thrive under saddle (and in life) for many years.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why motion is lotion — and the role of turnout, walking, and stretching
• Adjusting workload for senior horses, from FEI veterans to steady schoolmasters
• Creative warm-up ideas to make those longer walks more effective (and fun!)
• How to know when it’s time to step down the workload or fully retire a horse
• Fun, low-impact exercises to keep things interesting
• Why older horses are treasures — and how sharing them can bring joy to others, too

Nicole also shared practical stories from her own experience — from a Grand Prix jumper turned dressage horse, to the school pony who kept going strong into his 20s, simply because he was ridden round and correctly.
