A fitnes plan for my horse?

She is not a race horse just jumping and outrides
please help me!!
Answers:
I would do a lot of walking, if you have hills, walk up and down them, then build to trotting after at least a month, and do arena or large field work at the walk/trot/ canter. She will get fit over time, keep the rides under control - i.e. don't ride her for 3 hours at a trot- 30-40 min. rides 5 days a week will get her fit. Longer ones on an out of shape horse can ruin them.
Simply ride her every day, practice jumps, %26 feed her apples for energy %26 whatnot.
PLENTY LONG SLOW WORK TO START WITH THEN BUILD UP T FASTER WORK AS SHE GETS FITTER!
GOOD LUCK X
