The best way to get your horse back into jumping is to slowly start introducing him/her to cavalettis and cross rails. Take it slow and be sure to incorporate your horse's former experiences and age. One of the most important things to take into consideration is: Do not push your horse!

∙ 12y agoThis will depend entirely on why the horse is unfit to begin with. If it's just fat then it won't be as hard, if it was injured you should ask your vet how to go about it. Ok for the fat horse.
Week 1 long slow walks on pavement or hard packed dirt roads for 1 hour are best.
Week2, add in 15 minutes of trotting on turf or dirt usually in 3 sessions lasting 5 minutes each.
Week3, increase the trotting to 20-25 minutes, you may begin working with ground poles now.
Week4, Start doing more school figures, but maintain the walking and trotting, you can add a 3 minute canter.
Week5, along with the work being done add in cavalleti, and possibly interval training.
Week6, you may star adding small jumps into your sessions which should last 1 1/2 -2 hours by now.
Week7, start intensifying the work more school figures, poles and jumps.
Week8, continue with the previous levels of work then at the end of the week evaluate your horse to see if you can star raising the jumps or if you need to go back and do more strength training.
