However, gymnastic training for the horse means gymnastic training for the rider as well. In fact, certain exercises benefit riders by teaching them to work in harmony with their horse. During the time the horse needs to improve technique and trajectory, the rider can also concentrate entirely on their own physical processes and work on posture and relaxation.
Gymnastic training is therefore beneficial for both horse and rider. You can work together or alone on specific points such as flexibility, suppleness, openness, (self)confidence, relaxation, muscle toning and, of course, posture.
