Equisize by Sally Batton and Christina Keim
Former Dartmouth Equestrian Team Coach Sally Batton shares her secret to 30 years of winning riders and championship teams: a unique series of progressive, mounted exercises that improves cardiovascular and muscular fitness for riders of all abilities and levels. Batton's proven program, which she calls Equicize, can be used as part of a rider's daily warm-up by targeting specific muscle groups, or it can be a more intense workout in the saddle once or twice a week, making up the bulk of a training session. Easy to learn and flexible by design, riders can pick and choose the Equicize exercises that best address their personal "problem areas," or they can dedicate one (or more!) ride per week to performing an entire sequence. There are literally hundreds of ways to adjust, modify or adapt this fun fitness program to suit an individual's particular circumstances. No matter what level of fitness you start at, when the Equicize system is practiced regularly, every rider will see improvement in balance, strength, coordination, and flexibility. And Batton has made it easy to incorporate her training into our full, complex lives, with exercises designed to fit seamlessly into grooming, tacking, and riding time. With sensible, achievable goals, easy-to-implement steps, progressive how-to photographs, and dozens of QR codes to scan and view engaging instructional videos related to the exercises, this book is a superb launch point for ambitious riders and lynchpin for those aiming to stay in the game, and in the saddle, as long as possible"--
