Core Fitness

Core Fitness Training is important for all, but especially important for riders. That is why I love training with Kettlebells. When riding and learning to have an independant seat, a strong core is essential. Learning core awareness and how each muscle group works to move the body and/or stabalize the body helps the rider to be more effective and effcient. A good way to learn this body awareness off the horse is with kettlebell training, yoga and pilates. The joint mobility exercises also help people to learn the limits of their body and increase the fluidity of movement as well as body awareness.
Enjoy your workouts and your Equine Partners!!
