How often do you come back from a ride sore and tired beyond what the ride should cause?

How many times have you wondered why your horse is not responding properly?

How many times have you been in the saddle knowing that you need to sit up tall or put your shoulders down, and you simply do not know what to do to move your body in that way?

Equestrian Pilates® gives you the tools you need to deal with these situations while riding and more. It is specifically created to increase your body awareness, and improve your flexibility, balance, and strength to get you the most from your ride.

Here are some of the benefits you can expect from Equestrian Pilates®

• A stronger body with increased flexibility, strength, and balance
• A stronger core to help you avoid collapsing, twisting, bouncing, or bobbing your body in the saddle
• A stronger core to absorb the movement of the horse
• A stronger and more flexible back
• Better poster to help you deepen your seat
• Improved body awareness
• Better health and comfort during and after your ride

And what can all of this lead to?

• A horse who trusts your communication
• A horse who can respond to your commands
• A horse confident with your riding ability
• A horse who has fun
• In other words, A GREAT RIDE

Equestrian Pilates® accomplishes this by conditioning you, the equestrian athlete, through a series of exercises specifically designed to teach proper form and alignment while also increasing strength, flexibility and balance. We are not here to teach you how to ride, but to help you gain a better understanding of your deep postural muscles and how improving these muscles is vital for riding. Once you understand how these muscles work off the horse you will be better equipped to focus on the effective use of your new abilities while riding. This is the beginning of a truly great ride—one in which we move in tandem and grace with our horse.

This experience will increase your riding pleasure, make your horse happier and more responsive, and improve communication. In other words Equestrian Pilates® will help you take to a whole new level one of the most important relationships in your life, the one between you and your horse.
