Pilates for Dressage Competitors

06 October 2009 - Posted by James Raaff in In the press, News

I recently had the opportunity of helping a dressage champion with some shoulder and neck problems. It was a great lesson for me to see how much they train and that the training is an analogy of posture training in humans. The horses are drilled into moving in a particular way and they achieve this with understanding the biomchanics of the horse and then using hundreds of progressions of exercises to train the horse to perfection. The results are absolutely stunning!

Know your biomechanics, plan great progressions and results follow!
