It’S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS!!!
Many times we think our hip discomfort is from lack of mobility. While this can be the case, there’s also another factor - and that is strength 💪🏼
Hip flexors aren’t easy to isolate unless you’re specifically training them. This is why we wanted to give you a simple exercise which you can progress on your own that allows you to engage your ENTIRE CORE!!!
For more equestrian specific exercises, download the EQUESOUL APP today from the APPLE or GOOGLE PLAY store!!! 📱💪🏼♥️🐎

Just a moment of humour which connects all of us equestrians. We know we need the rain. We know the ground needs the rain. We KNOW it.
It’s the mud we don’t need. No one needs the mud 🫣

We know what it's like...🐴🦄
Long days. Unexpected "incidents" (you know like a lost shoe, and unexpected cut or scrape, a lost piece of kit, or a training day that just didn't go your way.).
Equestrians know what commitment is and that's why we look after our horses before we look after ourselves. What if this was negatively impacting your horse though? What if by not stretching, putting off exercising, or neglecting a physical weakness, you were making your horses job harder? 😍♥️
This is why we built EqueStride. Whether you have time for the gym (or the ability to change out of your riding gear into gym gear) - we're here for you. With EqueStride, it doesn't matter if you smell like horse!. You'll often catch our Co-Founder @nicolenasonofficial often stretching in the arena just before her ride! We understand and we are here to help you simplfy the demands on your time. 📱📲

It’s been over a DECADE since our CEO @nicolenasonofficial began constructing our programming.
FOUR YEARS since she began testing it with equestrians around the world.
TWO YEARS since it was submitted for approval by the National Academy of Sports Medicine @nasm_fitness
And ONE WEEK, since we received our final approval for our free version of EqueStride in the @apple store (don’t worry - we’re in @googleplay too!).
It’s taken more effort, energy, resources, motivation, discipline than any of us could have ever expected, but it’s here.
We created this app so equestrians of all walks of life could feel supported in their fitness needs regardless of age, discipline, or resource. EqueStride is for any horse lover who struggles with finding time for their own personal fitness. We’re here, available inside your phone, ready to support you pre or post ride. You can take us with you to the gym if you’d like to, but if it’s been a long day and your covered in mud and facing the public is the last thing you want to do, jump in and pick a program. We don’t care if you smell like horse 🤣🥰🏇🐎♥️
This time, instead of training for yourself, train for your ride. 💪🏼🐴

If you haven’t yet focused your mind on the sheer power of your reactions, let us ask you this🧠:
Can you think back to a recent moment in time where you took that one extra millisecond to respond. And in the one extra moment, you were able to find a higher level a patience, which allowed for a more thoughtful response. In this scenario, how did you feel? If it included your horse, how did your horse respond? 🐴♥️
All of us equestrians, know just how chaotic and manic our day can become (it a literal instant). Our horse can throw a shoe (or worse), the weather can change, a necessary piece of kit can fail (just before a show!). When you add an unpredictable animal into the mix, our day becomes a relentless gamble.
However, if within those moments of mania we are able to pause - just pause - we may give ourselves the opportunity to own our reactions in a way where we not only surmount the hurdle, we gain pride in our reaction. 💯👌💪🏼

Equestrians don’t need yoga blocks! 🧘♀️🧘♂️🐎
We love delivering excerise movements and tips which can be used in the real world - the equestrian “real world,” that is.
Easy to access - easy to use - easy to implement.
Many times, it’s not always a lack of mobility, it’s a lack of strength. When we are constantly riding in a fixed position, we do not have the chance to move beyond a specific ratio or to challenge the capacity of our hip flexors further. If this is the case, and we don’t isolate our left hemisphere from our right hemisphere, how can we expect to be balanced or symmetrical in the saddle???
Give this a go and check which side you’re stronger on or come find us @nationalequineshow and we’ll support you in person!
P.S. - In America it’s a helmet.
P.P.S - it the UK it’s a hat.

Regardless - shout out to @abus_equestrian @pikeureskadronuk and @redposteq

Just. Keep. Going.
Bad day? Try again.
Didn’t win? Try again.
Someone let you down? Try again.
Stay soft - true strength is the ability to remain gentle in a harsh world.
If you’re ever “feeling it,” and you don’t know how to bring yourself down from anxiety…find 2 minutes. Just 2. Set an alarm and BREATHE. 4 seconds in and 4 seconds out. It will activate your parasympathetic nervous system. 120 seconds is all you need…

Chin up friends - you’ve got this 💪🏼
