Exercises for Equestrians - Part 1: Basics... Balance and Relaxation

In Part 1, I will give you basic stretching exercises to do before riding and while riding under saddle. They are for all levels of riders. Start here before you progress to more challenging exercises in Parts 2 and 3. In this DVD you will find exercises for stretching the back muscles and upper leg muscles to gain more flexibility in the hip, knee, and ankle joints. These areas are most essential to improve balance or just to loosen up and allow relaxation!

The exercises are not designed for the very beginner rider. You have to be able to maintain basic balance at the walk and trot and know how to turn and stop. The ground stretching exercises will help everyone! Have lots of fun doing these exercises!
