Are you cross training? 🏋️💪🏇
In a recent study walking over ground poles resulted in a SIGNIFICANT increase in core muscle activation. Ground poles promote core strength, neuromotor control, and flexibility.
If you’re not already using these, start with the poles on the ground at a walk. As your horse gains strength you can increase speed through the gaits and add height. To increase neuromotor control vary the position and angles of the ground poles requiring your horse to have more precise control of their limbs and body.
You can do these exercises both in hand and under saddle.
