I have read this in various books yet nobody shows the evidence to prove this theory, or unprove.
In my opinion an hour lunging is an hour hack, half is half etc.
My GPS says the same mileage for lunging, hacking, long reining, jumping. So if I spend 45 mins in the school I have actually covered the same distance as I would have had I hacked out 45 mins.
Fair point you could say that school work is mainly trotting and canter but you still need ten minutes warming/cooling, all my hacks are hillwork and I mean elevation of the heart rate hills.
Your thoughts. For those who wonder how accurate the GPS is for going round in circles, mine has a one mile timer and I know how long that takes on my hack.
