Out The Saddle - OTS (Training)

Philosophy – To enable the equestrian enthusiast to maximize their ability to do what they love, longer and better.

Why OTS?

Traditionally riding coaches spend their effort training and schooling horses, the riders posture, alignment( form ) and fitness need to be addressed away from the horse as the rider needs to address their fitness level and imbalances to help with the direct and notable relationship between both the horse's and the rider's physical strength and fitness. By increasing rider fitness, strength and balance, the horse will be able focus its strength and free up its posture, rather than trying to correct any issues that are being passed down to it through the saddle from the rider.

What is OTS?

OTS is a physical training program designed for the modern rider that uses results from two evaluation processes to identify any weaknesses that a rider may have when in the saddle. The program then addresses these weaknesses with the use of fitness and strength training.

The two evaluation components take into account rider physical and rider equestrian fitness.

 Rider Physical Fitness – The physical fitness, alignment and strength of the rider will be evaluated.

 Rider Equestrian Fitness – The identification of weaknesses and strengths on the rider while on the horse.

The results of the evaluations are married together to formulate a training program tailored to each rider and will also have a large focus on alignment and core strength of the rider.
