PART TWO
FOR ANYONE WHO loves to ride, if their core doesn't function optimally in the saddle then no matter how hard the rider tries they will constantly struggle to improve their riding performance. Functioning optimally means that all the muscles that make up this vital core (Your Horse, Training/RiderCise® February) must work together at various intensities simultaneously.
Most people consider that they have good posture, especially those who are active and care for and ride horses. As we get older, and with the stresses of life, our posture can become compromised. And because the human body is so incredible these changes are often gradual. This means that we won't necessarily realise that our posture has altered and is no longer considered ‘good’ posture.
