Well imagine they can freely choose whether they are in the shed or outdoors - you know where you'll find them! And on that stable there weren't lessons every day, the horses are on the pasture most of the time. They were actually happy to get ridden, they rushed to get saddled when called.Oh I know! Brushing the horse (grooming) is exhausting when the horse is all dirty. And horses do like to roll around in the mud. You get an arm workout when you brush them off and a leg workout out when you ride them around
So some very dirty horses

And in the summer it was done outdoors at the boom, which meant carrying everything across some distance. Carrying the saddle is the worst - well you know that, of course.
I'm not a gym girl either, not at all. But that was just too much. Exhausted from work, air quality problems at work...Still, sounds so much better than going to a gym. I would always rather have accomplished something with my physical efforts. I guess I am just not a gym girl.
Nowadays my exercise is walking to/from bus.
