You've all heard me mention rider fitness right? Well I'm not the only person talking about it
Today I speak to Katie Parry-Evans, owner of Gym Pony all about just that
She speaks about her own background with horses and how fitness work has helped her not only improve how she rides but also prevent injury as she is hypermobile
The importance that training has when it comes to mental health and how creating a community within the gym is integral to this
Transferable skills between not only fitness work and riding but also owning a restaurant and running fitness classes
The differences between the different disciplines in riding in terms of how advanced they are but also how divided they are
But also how we can learn from each other as Katie herself has coaches from different background
When it comes to training we speak about unilateral work and how that can be so beneficial for equestrians in particular
We also talk about some of the clients that she worked with and the changes that she had seen them make in such short periods of time just by committing to some simple changes for themselves
We then speak about how to create a welcoming environment in the gym and if you are nervous about joining try out one that is smaller
Katie also has a great piece of advice at the end of the episode which is sweet and simple
