Equestrian Pilates

By regularly practicing Equestrian Pilates you should see and feel numerous benefits in your body, both on and off the horse. With the increased core strength, body awareness and flexibility Pilates brings, you may find the following improvements in your ridden work:

~ Independent movement of the limbs: you can freely and gently move arms and legs around a stable, supple and flexible torso

~ Increased body awareness and control will help you apply clearer aids and hold your position, whatever your riding discipline

~ Avoid collapsing and bouncing in the saddle by lengthening and softening your spine, using the correct muscles to maintain a stable core

~ Learn how to relax so that you may better absorb the horse's movements so you move with the horse and not against it

~ Improved posture to help you deepen your seat

~ All of which will lead to increased comfort during and after your ride
