  • Conditioning top event horses to the prime level of fitness for cross-country takes know-how, strategy, and even a good dose of engineering.
    Applying his years of experience, a note from technical engineers, and lessons from traditional racehorse training picked up during his years in England, Eventing legend David O'Connor has equine conditioning down to a science at his farm in Virginia - and there's one trick up his sleeve that he's particularly fond of.

    Love this!!! Would also be awesome if you could show some event riders different cool down processes after XC!

    This is great. How much would I love to spend a few weeks trying to learn a bit of what he and Karen know.

    This man is just a wealth of knowledge. Besides the passion he has for horses and competing, it’s obvious that the desire to know more has given him an edge indeed.

    so good!! wish i had hills around for fitness work! think a lot of people dont realise they have to keep walking and not stand still to cool the horse down!! then i say once theyve stopped puffing and youve done like at least 5-10 mins walking, you should take them abck to the barn, untack, hose off body and legs and potentially do some leg care

    Do you stay off the gallop when the ground is wet in order to not make divots and holes?

      It's always best to be extra careful in the grass after rain, for you and your horse, plus the grass as well.
