Hello!
I’m an adult rider that has had 5 private hour lessons now after a 20+ year break. My instructor says that I’m progressing extremely well and extremely quickly but that my ‘rider fitness’ isn’t as quick (for example core strength and leg muscle). My question is, what can I do out of the saddle to improve this?
Also, are there any riding books that you would recommend for a newbie? I’m interested in the horse psychology too. Again, I’m trying to do as much as I can out of the saddle so that I can make the most of the time in the saddle.
Thank you!
