The Athletic Equestrian by Sally Batton and Christina Keim
Collegiate riding coach Sally Batton has spent over 30 years perfecting innovative methods specifically designed to refine and polish riders, whatever their level. Here you learn both her time-proven warm-up and her energizing "equicize" routine: a series of progressive exercises similar to aerobics on horseback. Batton's creative, fun, and effective lessons help you build and strengthen the major muscle groups used by equestrian athletes and can be customized so you can raise or lower the intensity as needed to suit your age, level, and riding style. Plus, you will find dozens of creative training "hacks" that will develop your athleticism on horseback and vastly improve position and performance.
Want to ride like a varsity athlete? Whether competing in the show ring or riding at home on the trail, every rider wants to be more secure and balanced in the saddle. This innovative guide uses highly effective exercises honed over Coach Sally’s 35-year coaching career.
