Improve Your Riding Through Movement: The Upper Body
Equestrian sports as a whole demand a unique array of skill sets from the human athlete, which are both biomechanical and neurologic in nature. No matter the riding discipline, all riders want to experience being one with their equine partner. "Natural" riders seemingly accomplish this "oneness" with ease, while the rest of us mere mortals struggle with balance, coordination, flexibility and strength issues that impair our ability to ride well. This DVD is focused on helping to build a strong and flexible upper body so that you can ride quieter in the saddle. The quieter you can be with your upper body, with less your hands will interfere with your horse's movements and the more secure and comfortable you will be as a rider.
