The Basic Four Fitness Program – Improving
Communication with your Horse
This simple, home-based, off-horse exercise program addresses the most common strength needs of the equestrian athlete: contact (collection and release), leg strength (on/off), torso stability and following. Participants are shown the athletic concepts as they apply to riding. We will give an on-horse demonstration at the end of the clinic which shows how these exercises are critical to enhanced performance in your riding.
