Horse Back Riding Exercise
Horse Back Riding Exercises
Riders have long overlooked the principles of sports conditioning techniques to a detriment of the sport. Horse back riding exercises conducted away from the activity of riding are essential whatever your riding level if you are to enjoy the sport or excel at competition.
One of the major factors overlooked by many riders is the importance of core conditioning techniques (conditioning the muscles that support the midsection). All professional golfers now follow specific core conditioning programs to enhance their swing- if you think how much more a physical endeavour riding is it seems crazy that riders don’t follow in the same route.
Why should you follow a core conditioning program specific to riding? Many riders although they can ride well are still very weak on their core section. A weak core in the rider not only brings about extra exertion for the rider but also the horse. A weak core leads to unwanted movement by the rider that leads the animal to excessively weight bear on its front legs. This effects the drive of the horse, its ability to jump and can ruin a dressage horse. Horse back riding exercises in particular core training eliminates this extra motion which drastically improves the ride.
Horse back riding exercises must be specific to the individual and appropriate for the activity of riding. It is no use following a random set of core exercises and hoping for the best- this is the way injury can easily result and minimal results will be gained. The book Riding Fitness was written to help take all the guess work out of a conditioning program with a set of easy to follow abdominal tests and exercises to push Riding performance to new levels- the book can be bought by follow this link Riding Fitness. Horse back riding exercises are covered, along with cardiovascular techniques for riders and also nutritional advice specific to riders for weight control and maximal energy. Horse back riding exercises need not take up much of your day either. A well constructed program- like that in Riding Fitness can be completed in under 5 minutes 3 times per week and produce massive improvements in your ride.
