How do I start exercising ?

Read more on our blog for rider’s wanting to get in tip top shape for their competition season. Natasha Gunston from the Eventing Physiologist provides some great tips and hints. Natasha combines her love and knowledge of the human body, biomechanics and equestrian sport to provide specialist advice and training programs for rider fitness. The outcome of her work is better performance and communication between horse and rider and this works for all equestrian sport disciplines.

In this blog Natasha emphasises that strengthening work is key to improving performance and minimising the risk of injury.

You cannot achieve straightness in your horse if the rider is also not straight. Read her great blog here and see if you can find others to “buddy” up with to improve your fitness and strength.
