Trot On Exercise Physiology

Exactly one year ago, Sharon sustained a broken back after a fall from her horse.

Today, she achieved the goal she set from the very beginning…

She rode her horse, Cash, for the first time. 🐴🥳

Returning to riding after a serious injury isn’t just about healing the injury itself. It’s about rebuilding strength, stability, balance, coordination, confidence, and the physical capacity to meet the demands of riding and horse ownership.

Over the past 12 months, Sharon has consistently shown up, completed her rehabilitation, committed to her strength program, and trusted the process. Every session had a purpose, building the foundations needed to safely return to the saddle.

Congratulations, Sharon. Your determination has been incredible! I can’t wait to continue working with you and Cash as we keep building strength, confidence, and riding fitness. This is just the beginning of the next chapter.

Here’s to many more rides on Cash. 💙🐴

Why does a rider’s leg move in canter? 🐎

It’s rarely a “leg problem.”

Canter is an asymmetrical gait. If a rider has:
• reduced pelvic control
• core instability
• hip or inner-thigh weakness
• side-to-side asymmetry
the body looks for stability somewhere else.

And the leg becomes the stabiliser.

Instead of the pelvis and trunk absorbing movement, the leg swings, grips, or lifts as the rider subconsciously tries to stay balanced.

That’s why:
• it often happens on one side
• it shows up most in canter
• telling a rider to “keep their leg still” doesn’t work

This is where Equine Exercise Physiology helps.

As an Equine EP, I look at how the rider’s body controls movement on the horse, not just position.
I assess asymmetries, pelvic and core control, and how the rider manages load in canter, then use targeted in-saddle strategies and off-horse exercises to retrain stability where it should come from. 🐴

Thank you to Maroochy Pony Club Inc for welcoming me to host an Equine Exercise Physiology session for their riders. I had the pleasure of running five sessions and meeting so many enthusiastic people.

I partnered with Connect Exercise Physiology to deliver exercises and education highlighting the importance of staying strong, active, and resilient for long-term performance and injury prevention. We focused on exercises designed to improve riding posture, strength, stability, and balance. Riders also learned the importance of maintaining general strength and fitness off the horse to support being truly riding fit. 🐴🐴
