I came across this post while searching for something totally different. Anyway, I ride my bike and horse daily. My indoor setup is a Cannondale CAAD bike, Wahoo KICKR Snap and the low volume build plan. I add in endurance rides on the days I don’t have a scheduled ride. Cycling is amazing fitness to augment equestrian fitness. Properly pedaling strengthens similar muscles used while riding. I foxhunt, trail ride and do a bit of jumping and find the fitness gained from indoor cycling keeps me plenty fit for riding my horse all year. There is also a soothing similarity between pedaling and riding. Both bring the brain to a similar place. Good luck to your friends.

I feel obligated to post in this thread only so that in the off chance I die, and my wife lurks my browsing history… Lol. We own two horses(Friesian and a Mustang), and I’m honestly surprised to see more than a handful of others on here in the same boat!
I often think to myself that I must be one of the handful of people in the world that pulls off cowboy boots to kit up in spandex…
