Here are some of the programs in the membership (there are even more too!):
Corrective Exercise Programs
Are you unhappy with your riding position? Do you do a certain ‘thing’ in the saddle that you can’t seem to stop doing? These in-depth rider training programs will help you get to the bottom of what’s happening. Clear explanations and instructions to show you what’s happening in your body. These programs will teach you the best releases, stretches and strengthening exercises to improve your posture and riding position. Specific programs to fix specific rider faults.
Fit 2 Ride Series
No time to exercise? F2R covers all the things you need to ride well – balance, symmetry, core and coordination in short 15-20 minute sessions. F2R 2 includes a weekly mobility session. Mobility is being able to actively control your joints through their full range of motion. In F2R2 we are building strength and flexibility around your joints so you will have controlled, fluid movement.
F2R Core Connection
15 minute sessions to improve your core for real stability and confidence in the saddle. Learn how to connect your breathing with your core to enhance your riding and communication with your horse. This program helps you develop a truly independent seat with the added benefit of improving lower back pain and improving pelvic floor issues.
Shorts and Express Classes
These are great classes of between 20-30 minutes. They each usually have a theme and have lots of explanations, but are more condensed than the Corrective Exercise Programs.
The Shoulder Series
4 x hour long classes with various exercises for stiff or rounded shoulders. Looking at strengthening the weak muscles, stretching and releasing the tight muscles and improving mobility and range of motion. You can use these alongside the rounded shoulders corrective exercise program for variety.
Pre Ride Warm-Ups
Feeling tight, stiff and uncoordinated when you first get on? These short pre-ride warm ups will mobilise your joints, stretch your tight muscles, improve your coordination and switch on your mind body connection so you can have a better ride. It’s important to be in the right frame of mind when you ride and these little warm-ups really help to bring your focus back to yourself, your body and tune into your ‘feel’ ready for riding.
Ride Fit Intervals
A progressive cardio and conditioning course designed specifically for riders to improve your cardiovascular fitness while also developing the movement skills that transfer into the saddle.
Each session combines intervals of exercise with rider-focused movements to improve balance, coordination, single-leg stability, core control, reaction time and, as the course progresses, power and plyometric ability (Plyometrics strengthen bones so are vital for women of a certain age).
Lateral Word Demo
Does lateral work confuse you? Not sure about the names of the exercises, what they are or what your aids should be? In this series, I demonstrate all the movements on my little gypsy cob Millie. Clear explanations of the movement and the aids. These specific aids help build a clear language with the horse so you can ride lateral work with ease.
It All Starts With Body Awareness
Every program helps you identify your body’s restrictions and weaknesses, understand what’s causing tension or imbalance, and gives you practical tools to correct it. One of the most valuable things you’ll gain is rider body awareness — because without knowing your own movement patterns, you can’t expect to ride in harmony with your horse.
Start with the Progress Tests — simple rider assessments to show you which areas need the most work.
