Maintaining your weight or dropping is critical for your sport, we will give you daily strategies and training sessions so your body is not pushed to the max therefore your performance on the the horse will not be jeopardised.

Strength
Strength underpins your performance on the horse. Gaining strength whilst not putting on weight is key. Strength training will increase your bone density, ligament/tendon/muscle strength, meaning you will be strong in your position and if you get injured you will bounce back quicker.
