๐Ÿ‡ Who is behind the Hip Mobility Workshop? ๐Ÿ‡

Alistair Shaw - Qualified Fitness Coach

With rider fitness and corrective strength training being an important part of any equestrianโ€™s journey, we are excited to be able to offer our riders that extra support when it comes to any issues they might be facing in the saddle.

Rider fitness has often been overlooked in the past, however there has been a shift within the equestrian community, emphasising the importance of rider fitness.

Being fit to ride, no matter what level you are at will mean you find it easier to keep a correct position, move in balance with your horse and communicate clearly.

Alistair has coached at Functional Fit Gym and more recently has been coaching riders at CEC, he comes from a background in CrossFit and is specifically passionate about biomechanics and functional movement patterns.

๐Ÿ‡ Second date for the Hip Mobility workshop ๐Ÿ‡

Saturday 27th June, 11am - 12pm

Ever feel stiff through your hips when you ride? Struggle to sit deeply in the saddle? Feel like one side works differently to the other?

Join us for a practical, rider-focused workshop designed to help you move better, feel more balanced, and get more from your riding.

During this 1-hour workshop, weโ€™ll look at common mobility and stability limitations that affect riders, before working through a series of simple exercises designed to improve hip mobility, glute activation, balance and pelvic control.

Youโ€™ll learn:
โœ… What may be limiting your position and seat
โœ… How hip mobility affects your riding
โœ… Simple exercises to improve mobility and stability
โœ… How to warm up effectively before riding
โœ… Which areas YOU personally need to work on

Most importantly, youโ€™ll leave with:
โœ” A personalised pre-ride warm-up routine
โœ” A better understanding of your bodyโ€™s strengths and weaknesses
โœ” Practical exercises you can continue working on at home

๐Ÿ“… Saturday 27th June
โฐ 11:00am โ€“ 12:00pm
๐Ÿ“ Callaghan Equestrian Centre Gym
๐Ÿ’ฐ $39 per person

โš ๏ธ Limited to just 6 riders for this first workshop to allow for individual coaching and feedback.

Cancelling all lessons tomorrow ๐ŸŒฆ๏ธ

We have had significant damage to powerlines over the carpark connecting to the school due to fallen trees. We have a bit of a clean up to do and unsure of access to our ponies in the back paddocks still.

We are in the process of emailing everyone who is booked in tomorrow!

Thank you for your understanding!
