Rider Fitness Alignment and Workshop Recap

On Sunday June 27th 2021 Liesl Wilding and I held our first Rider Fitness and Alignment Clinic!

We combined our skills - Liesl with her experience as a Level 2 NCAS coach and a high level dressage rider and myself as a Personal Trainer with my education in Exercise and Health to offer a two-sided approach to help the riders improve their position and performance!

Liesl worked with the riders on their position and alignment in the saddle, giving them key takeaways to focus on to improve the connection and communication with their horses.

I coached the riders through specific exercises and stretches to improve their awareness of their posture and mind-muscle connection to complement what they worked on in their ridden session. Each rider received a program that they can do at home to continue improving their strength, flexibility and fitness over time.

I really enjoyed the day and hope all the riders learned lots about their bodies and their riding!

Thank you to Sunninghill Equestrian Centre for accomodating us last minute with the wet weather forecast!

Looking forward to helping more riders to feel stable and confident in their riding position and performance!
