Creative Riding – Equestrian health

Fitness training for equestrians – Is it really important?

Training for equestrians, is it really important or is the physical activity we perform in the stable and riding itself enough? When it comes to training your horse, we talk about achieving collection, engagement and suppleness. These skills require both strength, balance, coordination and endurance. You plan your riding sessions, thinking about how you will attain those skills, but how often do you think about yourself and your own well-being? The physical activity you perform in the stable and during riding is definitely beneficial for your health, but in order to promote sustainability and development you often need more challenging activities.

How fitness will improve your riding

As a rider and an athlete, you need a certain margin between your physical capacity and the effort the sport itself requires. For example, a football player adds fitness training as a complement to the specific sports training, in order to gain strength and speed, to succeed on the field and prevent injuries. It’s exactly the same for equestrians.

Benefits of equestrian training:

  • Enhances the ability to maintain a strong and flexible seat
  • Reduces negative impact on your horse through imbalances and uneven weight distribution 
  • Increases your endurance in the arena 
  • Reduces the risk of overuse injuries both in yourself and your horse
  • Improves the ability to stay calm and focused during performances
