Pilates for horse riders

Research has shown 'Rider fitness has a direct link with horse performance & physical capacity. An unbalanced rider is unable to give clear & consistent aids to the horse. The horse has to adapt their locomotion to accommodate for the moving weight of the unbalanced rider which increases the physiological demands of exercise. 

(Rider Impacts on Equitation, Williams & Taylor, 2017)

Pilates for horse riders focusses in on key groups of muscles which are focal to a good position in the saddle, flexibility to be able to go with the horse, balance and core strength in order to stay in unison with the horse.

Sarah has a number of rider specific Pilates sessions for local clubs such as Shillington, Aspley Guise and Breakspear Riding club, along with Old Berkeley Hunt and Flamstead Pony Club. Virtual sessions are available please email to arrange any future sessions.
