Equipilates™ - become the rider your horse would choose

Saddle horse.jpg

As horse owners and riders, focussing on ourselves often comes bottom of the list or doesn't happen at all, our horses come first. If you're investing time and money working on your horses wellbeing, balance, suppleness and strength but not your own, imagine your potential as a partnership if you did!

​

Equipilates™ will help you to improve your postural alignment, balance, flexibility, muscle function and strength. As well as delivering all the benefits of Pilates, it also includes Intrinsic Biomechanics Screening, plus exercises and techniques from other bodywork and movement methods which are especially effective for improving your riding.
