Ways to play
In addition to traditional racehorse exercise on a dirt or turf track, along with interspersed speed work, steeplechase horsemen - especially those in Virginia's hunt country - have a wide variety of choices for their equine fitness regime.
• Workouts on a polytrack or other modem track surface.
• Use of high-speed treadmill (such as at Morven Park’s Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center, Maryland trainer Jack Fisher's stable, etc.).
• Use of an equine swimming pool (such as the Middieburg Swim Center and others). • Foxhunting.
• Use of a high-speed horse walker (such as an Equicizer like at many flat track training farms).
• Use of ‘road-work’ on the spiderweb system of dirt and quiet macadam roads in Virginia's rural Piedmont region (such as most trainers use throughout England, calling road work' a good way to tighten young horses' ligaments and tendons without the added danger of speed work). • Ponying (or leading one horse, without a rider, while riding another — often used by polo trainers as a way to exercise more than one horse at a time, with only one rider).
