Physical exercise 

 

Riding provides physiotherapy on the move - the warmth and three dimensional movement of the horse is transmitted through the body of the rider helping them to relax, and strengthen core muscles, enabling the rider to become stronger and more supple. 

 

Many riders also find that riding helps improve their posture, balance and coordination. Many referrals are given from medical professionals to improve health and well-being.
