Identify the Rider Weaknesses That Are Limiting Your Horse’s Performance

Your horse responds to every shift in your body, your balance, your strength, and your mobility. When something feels off under saddle, the first instinct is often to adjust training, tack, or technique. But many persistent issues actually start with the rider’s own movement. This course walks you through the most common physical limitations riders bring into the saddle and shows you how to identify them in your own body. Inside, you’ll learn how weaknesses in hip strength, limited mobility, and poor trunk control can influence your position, and how those changes can affect your horse’s balance, responsiveness, and overall performance. You’ll be guided through eight simple self-tests designed specifically for riders. These assessments help you uncover asymmetries, tightness, and stability deficits that may be quietly impacting your horse. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how your body moves in the saddle and where to start if you want to become a more balanced, effective rider.
