Why should you try EQUESTRIAN PILATES®?

Horse and Rider Mirror One Another

A balanced, flexible and strong rider creates these same qualities in their horse. How a rider moves off the horse is how they move on the horse. Increasing bio-mechanical function and awareness off the horse allows the rider to move better while riding.

Noticing Does More than Fixing

Many riders have a natural ability to assess their horse’s movements either by watching them move or feeling them move while they ride. The rider’s ability to be aware of his/her body is a major determining factor in maximizing EQUESTRIAN PILATES® training and optimizing riding ability.

When riders become more away of their body on and off the horse they see a dramatic improvement in their riding.

Core Strength – Your Horse Will Notice

The core is the shock absorber, protective wrap and power source of the body.  It is comprised of the muscles that support the spine, connect the front to the back of the body and provide the strength to maintain body balance, alignment and posture.

Increasing core strength keeps the rider strong and supple, strengthens the back and reduces back pain, encourages the horse to collect and use his hind end, avoids unnecessary movement in all parts of the body, prevents collapsing, twisting, bouncing, or bobbing the rest of the body, enhances stability and balance in the saddle, improves communication with the horse by strengthening the seat and making it more effective and independent.
