gym b all exercises

[Orangehorse]

There was a letter in H & H from a physio in the Bristol area who did some classes for riders, using gym balls, etc.

How can I find out if there is one in my area? Is there an association of Riding Physios?

i like my gym ball. I fall off it even more than I fall off the horse, but at least its not so far to fall ! The only time it went really wrong was when I was trying to sit on it with a glass of wine in my hand.

I have tried to look for appropriate classes in the past but had no luck. Tried pilates for a while but didnt seem to have many exercises that were riding related although I guess it helps generally.

There have been some riding specific exercises in BD magazine recently and I have picked some up off the Mary Wanless website, if this helps at all .

The Mary Wanless site is a good idea, thanks.

Having got the thing, I don't really know what to do with it!

Try the local gym and get the instructors to show you some exercises you an then do in your own time at home.
