Whaaat?

Physical, Mental or Emotional???

Physical problems include general riding position and especially looking at your hands.

Mental problems include lack of confidence, fear of shying etc and finally by Emotional I mean looking at how your mood affects the horse!

Physical Fitness

It's vital to keep your 'core' muscles strong for riding. This becomes harder as we age but must be worked on every day.

Physical Fitness of the Rider

Much more important than it would seem, keeping the rider fit not only helps your horse but helps you with your balance and stability.

Do whatever it takes to stay fit and strong - your horse will thank you for this ;-)

The main muscle group to work on are your core muscles - stomach and back - these keep you upright and balanced and able to ride and stay on through almost anything.

A happy rider makes for a happy horse.
