Endurance Horse Canter Training - Vlog 41 - Beth Endurance

How do people like to structure their canter training? I use it in four different ways. I start with interval training then progress to hill canter reps and when they start to do races and FEI I add in continuous and speed work.

Interval: Ratios of walk, trot and canter that adapt based on fitness levels with a change in canter lead every 30s.
Hill: Canter repetitions on a steep hill changing lead every rep
Continuous: Picking a certain speed to train at based on the past speed pass rate for my next ride, I like to figure out the stats for each loop of my next race and then train at the speed they are most likely to complete at and also the max speed to win the last loop. I then change canter lead every 2minutes.
Speed: I go to an all weather gallop for this one and change lead every set, with 1km steady canter and then a full blast 1km.

Canter training doesn't even appear in my training programme until 3 months in and then towards the end of the season it probably accounts for 60% of my training. This is just because training is much more effective if you do it in blocks focusing on one element at a time, changing the stimulus and way the muscles are worked is better for fitness and strength rather than sticking to the same routine for months.
