I'm just curious as to what people do what is your normal routine? How do you change it when your horse is full of energy or just plain bored?

I will lunge before I ride about every other day - if he's really acting up or if it's really cold, just to get him warmed up and a bit calmer.

When I ride, I usually start with serpentines and working on listening to my legs at the walk, then do a few halt transitions. I do most of my work at the trot, where I will usually do serpentines and circles and figure eights because of Bailey's tendency to do what we affectionately call his 'racing trot.' At the trot, my biggest goal is to get him relaxed, listening to my aids, and most importantly carrying his head fairly down and working with the bit. I also work on moving off of my leg there too, and some trot-walk or trot-halt transitions. If he is doing well, I will do a little cantering, or sometimes mix it up with a little low jumping or cabalettas.

When he's acting really hot, and I don't want to lunge him, like last night, I do a lot of more focused, intense work to keep his mind busy. Last night, I only walked a little bit before picking up the trot. I did figure eights, half-turns back to the rail, and lots of trot-halt transitions and halt-trot. It certainly seemed to work, within a few minutes he was paying more attention to me even if he was still excited.

I had a trainer tell me once that horses are actually pretty comfortable in a routine (to an extent), so he does the same worm-up routine at home that he will do at a show. And that made a lot of sense to me! So on my more broke horses, or the ones that are getting close to getting to the show pen, I start all my rides basically the same.

1) I rarely lunge. I may not have time or room to do it at a show, so unless I haven't ridden in a few days and my horse is ornery, I avoid it.

2) I get on and stand still for a few moments. Nothing I hate more than a horse that moves off as you're getting on!

3) Walk a lap or two around the arena, working out kinks and warding to warm up the muscles. The start asking my horse to bend and flex thru the neck, maybe walk a few circles each direction.

4) Move up to a jog or trot, and follow the same routine as walk.

5) Ask my horse to stop and back. Walk another lap or two. Then ask for a lope. Follow same routine as at the walk and jog.

That's my basic warm-up routine. It takes maybe 10-15 minutes, so I can always fit that into my schedule before my classes. After we're warmed up, then I start working on whatever goal I've set for us. It may be lead changes, counter cantering, leg yields, serpentines, transitions, extension and collection, etc. I usually leave some cones and ground poles out in the arena so I can make up a pattern to ride (the difficulty depends on the horse). We work on opening and closing the arena gate while mounted, I'll go ride out in the pastures, take a walk down the road, etc.
We always start a working on a long and low outline. Rowan is kept indoors for the most part of the day, so she usually needs a little extra time to work out kinks and just stretch. She's a pretty high-strung horse; so working on relaxation really helps to make a more enjoyable ride for everyone involved.
Then we do all three gaits, working changes of direction and gait. We usually finish up our warm up with lateral work. Then it's on to schooling whatever we need to work on that day, and we end with a loose-rein walkout.

We rarely change the routine, just because it works so well.
I try to change up the routine depending on how BMOC looks when I get to the barn. If he's looking stiff (because it's been like -2 here) then I will walk him bareback for maybe a half-hour, so he limbers up but doesn't sweat. If he's fresh (which is most of the time) I do a lot of lengthening and shortening exercises, bending, serpentines, etc. Hopefully, on the day of a lesson he's somewhere in the middle, lol
Right now due to inconsistent weather I'm lucky if I can ride 3 times a week, but here we go.

Storm: Ridden about 3 ax’s a week, 2 days of serious flatwork with half-passes, and shouldering etc. The third day is an hour long trail ride followed by mossy around the barn area and some carrots in dinner...

Mocha: Ridden about 3 times a week, 2 days flatwork, 1 days is strenuous the other is just focused on shortening and lengthening strides. Third day is a quiet hack (although with all the turkeys around nothing is quiet).

Red: 3 times a week, nothing real strenuous as he is still growing, but 2 days flatwork focusing on transitions. The third day starts out with flatwork then ends in a little trail ride.

I normaly get her out and after I've groomed and tacked up I play games on the ground. Then I get on make sure she doesn't walk off and the we do some walk halt trans, walk trot, then trot halt canter trot really what ever comes to mind. I try to vary her work out alot unless shes unsure or worried, then I stick to the same thing. After that we do jumping and or serpentines or figure 8s. The whole time I'm working I ask her more like test her to see if shes ready or if shes still unsure. I try to keep in mind that she is a pray animal and I am a predator so its unnatrual for her to except me in her yard. Thats generaly why alot of people can't ; catch there horses, tie there horses, ( the horse is a clostriphobic (sp) animal) trailer there horses, get on there horses, exc.

Well, one of my boys I work in the round pen about 4-5 days a week. Then on the weekends I ride him. Of course, his amount of energy will depend on how long he is worked in the round pen and/or rode for. Once there is more light outside later, I will be riding him more during the week.

My other guy is on a lay up, so he just gets turned out for about an hour.

My OTTB, now a sort of low-level dressage prospect, is on perpetual "re-starting." Now she has a minor leg injury that flares up on the hard ground and with her stupid playing constantly knocking on it. Last year, it was a series of abscesses from white line disease, the year before my military duty got in the way, two years before she had a baby. She's going to be the oldest horse in training level dressage classes, I'm sure!

When she was going well and consistently, I was working on improving her suspension at the trot with cavaletti grids. I was also working leg yield/half pass zig zags, which were going great. It will be interesting to see how much she has lost in layup. Ugh.

If that is anything like working out forget it.

Really dont do much more than pleasure ride my horses any more unless i ma working something for the wife.

Old Shorty likes to run about 1/8 of a mile to blow off some steam and maybe once and awhile crash through some brush to try and dump me but other than that we just try different direction and a few obstacles. I guess that is a good thing to have trails.

This would be reflecting more towards if you did more arena work. And here I am again just running it...
