Swish Fitness for
Equestrians
The Fit and Athletic Equestrian
If you’re a horse lover, you would likely do anything to take care of your horse. We often ask them to perform at high levels which requires demands on their bodies. And guess what? It’s no different for us as riders too.
We are also athletes and need to be in peak condition – especially if we’re competing. It’s just that sometimes we forget to take care of ourselves. Are you raising your hand?
Being an efficient and effective rider requires our physical abilities to be at our best. When we’re strong, straight and in a good position, we can ensure our horses get the best rides possible. It also helps the physical well being and performance of our horses.
As a rider, I’ve had multiple injuries – because, you know…falls happen sometimes! I’ve had to do Physiotherapy treatments, Regenerative Medicine, stretching and strength programs to get me back in the saddle. I also do the day to day work of maintaining my strength, balance and position on and off the horse.
Due to these injuries, along with decades of experience treating athletes, I have created the Swish Fitness for Equestrians Membership program to help YOU. I have tailored exercises that help riders, just like you feel great in the saddle.
And, I love making exercises functional so you can relate everything back to sitting on your horse. Which of course benefits your horse too!
My goal is to ensure you’re healthy and fit so you can enjoy being on your horse! And your horse enjoys you!
Common Fitness Challenges:
Weak core and lower body muscle imbalance
Uneven or Weak Hips
Altered Shoulder Position
Twisted – upper or lower body (pelvis/shoulders)
Uneven pressure in the stirrups
Tipping forward/ahead of the motion

Now imagine you can improve how you feel in the saddle…you’re in balance…you’re strong…your horse is in balance…and you have harmony and synergy. What could be better than that?
