Hip Mobility for the Win! 🏆

Thank you Jamie! I need more of these exercises in my life. Cannot believe I've never heard of the 2:1 concept before, going to apply that concept to other areas of my fitness routine. Don't mind my furry cheer leaders! 🐾

Lower leg stability excerises

Hello Equi collective members! I was wondering if anyone had any specific lower leg stability excerises. My lower leg is very unsteady in the Dressage. In jumping I don't have a problem. I'll try shortening my stirrups a bit in dressage but other than that I would like to do some excerises 😊

I’m taking an equestrian fitness class right now and my favorite thing we do is stand with one leg on these very squishy foam pads and pass a kettle bell (15-20 lbs) around you in a circle both ways, trying not to fall over. It’s good for all those little stabilizing muscles in your feet & ankles, plus your core.

Crooked pelvis

I had a horse flip on me and broke my pelvis, back, hip and some ribs about 7 years ago. It’s hard for me to get to right side of my seat even after all the soft tissue trauma. Any tips, friends?

@IevaA Hey! Thanks for your response!💗 So sorry to hear you had a similar experience to mine-I’m so proud of you for your perseverance!!!! This was almost 7 years ago, so I’ve been happily been back in the saddle for years-this is no longer acute healtinng, it’s more of ways to work with the body I have now, crooked pelvis and all! My trainer is wonderful, and had taught me so much about how to use my body, I just wanted some extra things I can do at home or in free rides ☺️

I know someone mentioned physio, but have you considered chiropractic or boen therapy, or even massage? I got kicked in the pelvis by a clydesdale and ended up with a separated pelvis, and chiro helped a lot. Butterfly yoga stretches, warrior pose, lunges, sphynx followed by pigeon and cat stretch, with a final twist pose do a lot for my chronic lower back pain. Of course, listen to your body. There’s a lot of yoga-flow-charts on google, and I find the best thing about Yoga is once you find a few poses you like that work for you, you can almost intuitively create your own routine in the moment, it also assists a lot with making you aware where your weight is in the saddle. I had to compromise a LOT with being very intentional on putting more weight down my right, which is the side that gets tight for me, my chiro was actually astounded how straight I was presenting, when you can see in my xrays my right hip was a good 2” above my left (edited)

Stretching för de djupa sätesmusklerna

Två stretchövningar som är bra för ryttare. Den första kallas duvan. Den ger en djup stretch i sätesmusklerna. Den andra övningen kallas grodan. Den stretchar insidan på låret

Ride it out on Joker

Hi, To know your impact on the horse, I try to ride ‘Joker’ a few times a year. Because I have a dressage and a jumping saddle, I take them both with me. One time the dressage saddle, the other time the jumping saddle. You learn so much about your own body, the strenghts, weaknesses. Just try it sometimes 😇 Oh, you insurance wise.. a cap is obligated

Interesting! Is he yours? Or do you go somewhere to ride him? And if you go somewhere then where can you find a "joker"?

@PaminaL hi! No, i don’t own the ‘joker’. In the Netherlands there are many places where you can ride it. There are lessons, you can buy them once or a subscription. I think this concept is also in other countries. It really helps with the riding skills and develop more feeling.
