I skimmed this thread because it's Monday morning and I don't want to read them all....
I've been riding/showing/taking care of horses of all sorts for over 15 years. Depending on what type of barn work and what type of riding you are doing - you are not burning that many calories, or creating that much strength. To be a strong rider you really need to workout OFF the horse. I am friends with a lady who is a PT and nutritionist who focuses on riders. Her name is Leah Hinnefield and she runs The Athletic Rider. Look her up on Google or Facebook. She runs all sorts of free and paid programs that are designed specifically for riders. All of her stuff you can do at home (no gym memberships required), and she has an incredible supportive following. Thought I'd mention it since there are a lot of riders posting on here.
OP - as far as time, it is all in your priorities. If you have an injury that your doctors tell you you need to rehab then you need to STOP riding and rehab it. Make the time. You only get one body, you need to take care of it. If your doctors are not telling you how and which muscles to be strengthening then you need to talk to someone who will tell you. I think you mentioned riding 5 horses a day....can't you cut one of those out or shave down the time somehow to give you an extra 30 minutes to bust out some squats and push ups? Do lunges holding water buckets. Do it while your at the barn and already gross and sweaty.
Bottom Line: if you are really serious about building some muscles to prevent injuries you will find 30-45min in your day to bust out a workout.
Best of luck!0 -

We make time to exercise if it's important, I wake up at 3 am so I can get my workouts in before work. So, stop with the excuses and reasons you can't.
Im in school and don't feel like doing squats in the middle of the class hehe

I work out everyday 2-3 hours and even more on weekends! that's a lot of time and I can probably make 30 min extra but still think of how much time I use it's a lot when I have school work for 12+ hours and I need to do good in school and also go to classes please respect that and if you have some advice in form of exercises please tell if not then maybe use some time on other posts 0 -
I'm sorry but you have an answer, an excuse for everything. You were at the party all day yesterday? You're in High School but you're sitting in class typing on your phone?FredMikmik wrote: »GiveMeCoffee wrote: »OP you've had enough time to keep checking back on this thread, maybe if you stepped away from your electronic devices and used that time wisely you could have had it done already.

Either this thread is a big joke or you just want to keep making excuses.
Were you at the birthday party all day yesterday?
It started at 17 but yes pretty much. I'm probably in a different timeline than you. And I guess you can call my school a type of high school we have computers and that's the only thing I use so I'm on my computer and I don't think that's an excuse...0 -
This is one of those "If you want to you do it, you don't need anything from us" threads

push ups. do as many as you can at the start (or near the start) of the hour of the every day.
this can be alternated with squats or lunges or sit ups, etc etc.

I am doing the XTFMAX90 Programme. It has lots of different strength workouts between 26 and 46 mins. Might be worth checking out? I set my alarm that amount of time early in the morning and do it before everyone else wakes up - only chance I get too!!0

No time to exercise? That is a bunch of horse-pucky. Too much horsing around....
In all seriousness, while you are busy, you can find plenty of training circuits on youtube that are 15 minutes or so as a starting point. Go to youtube and search for a "15 minute workout" and you will find many options.
