Four of my stallions live together in a pen that is entirely on a slope. Hay is generally near the top of the slope and the water is always near the bottom. Merely walking and frolicking on that slope has done wonders to keep them in solid muscle. The other horses have identical lifestyles except that they are on flat pastures. In the winter those on the flat pastures that are not being constantly ridden loose a great deal of muscle tone.
Creating a slope in one's pasture will give one's horse a great system of passive exercise. If you make the slope your self, with a shovel, it will give you a great system of active exercise.
That way both of you will end up with rock solid muscles.
