Sinead Halpin's Tate goes swimming!
Monday, July 5 2010
Sinead's top horse Manior De Carneville (Tate) is on the mend after an unfortunate injury this winter. In order to regain his fitness and strength before his first competition, later this summer, Sinead decided to enroll Tate in swimming lessons.
Tate goes in the pool 4 times per week and the sessions last for 6 minutes. In the pool, the horse has to swim against the current, which gives him a fantastic low-impact full-body cardio workout. So, Tate can get fit and rebuild strength without putting any impact on his legs, minimizing any risk of injury.
