This is done really early on. It&#8217;s all about treating you and your horse as athletes in your own right. That&#8217;s kind of our main point, right?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So if you consider yourself an athlete, you need to train in a rigorous and thoughtful way. The first step in that is to have a standard week that meets certain criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a standard week of work will bring rigor in your organization and will allow you to progress more easily. Your horse will have an established routine, and you on your side will be able to better anticipate and program upcoming exercises.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A standardized week is in fact a micro-cycle<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I say that the standard week is the first step, it is because, in theory, the programming of the training of the horse is done a year or at least 6 months in advance. That is to say that one should in fact organize their training six months or even a year in advance, having at least defined the goals and the intermediate competitions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will start from the scale of one year and work up to the scale of a week. The &#8220;official&#8221; terms are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The season (= a year)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sequence (~a semester)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A period (~a trimester)<\/span><\/li><li>A<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cycle (= one month or the time between two competitions)<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A micro-cycle (= a week)<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-5671\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"626\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/programme_annee-1-1024x626.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/programme_annee-1-1024x626.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/programme_annee-1-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/programme_annee-1-768x470.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/programme_annee-1-442x270.png 442w, https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/programme_annee-1-850x520.png 850w, https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/programme_annee-1.png 1037w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Exemple de ce \u00e0 quoi peut ressembler une saison compl\u00e8te, semaine par semaine.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s focus today on micro-cycles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the way, I highly recommend reading this article to find out what the training plan should look like.<\/span><br><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.equisense.com\/en\/horse-training-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to plan your horse&#8217;s training for the entire season<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"Not-one-but-3-standardized-weeks\"><b>Not one but 3 standardized weeks<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, we&#8217;re not just going to do one standard week.

And therefore he must be able to do a gymnastic session on cavalettis the day before a competition without suffering physically. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, if it is too hard for him, he is not trained enough. In this case, you will have to rethink your organization, to increase the workload to improve the physical condition of your horse.

Each of you will build your own typical week, and will also know how to change it if the organization does not suit you in certain aspects! Of course, none of this should be 100% fixed, everything should be improved \ud83d\ude09 In any case, you now have everything you need to build an incredible training schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See you soon for a next article, <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camille Saute<br>Cofounder of Equisense<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h6><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">P.
