Become a better rider

It is a good idea to do injury prevention exercises once a week. The purpose is to develop the physical skills you need to become a better rider. Technical skills such as sits will affect the horse’s movements, so be sure to perfect your own technique for your horse to perform optimally.

Use protective gear

Using the right kinds of protective gear helps prevent injuries. Don’t forget your helmet! Riding boots protect the feet and legs. The heal stops the foot from gliding through the stirrups. Young riders should also use a safety vest. Make sure your protective gear fits properly and replace it when it becomes worn out.

Know when to stop

If you’re tired and your technique is suffering, it’s time to wrap up your training session. A tired rider with poor technique and focus is at greater risk of injury, and puts herself and others at risk.
