Are you slipping to the side and going crooked when riding? (2 exercises that might help!)

As horse riders, our seat is the most important aid and it´s affecting the horse all the time when we are sitting in the saddle. We want to be as symmetrical as possible to be able to communicate with the horse clearly. We all are more or less asymmetrical, but it will highly benefit our riding if we can improve our symmetry! In this video I show two exercises that might help you especially to improve your lateral balance and symmetry.

Hello and welcome to my channel! My name is Johanna Janatuinen, I´m a physiotherapist, animal physiotherapist and riding instructor. A big passion of mine has always been training horses and also rehabilitation. This channel is all about horse and rider wellbeing, and horse and rider training and development. You will find tips to improve your riding in and out of the saddle, and especially on how to develop a better seat in the saddle, which I think all good riding eventually comes down to.

I have worked with horses and riders for more than 20 years, first training horses and teaching riding in Finland where I live and also abroad. Later I studied to become a physiotherapist and after that also specialized in animal physiotherapy. I treat and train horses and riders, my biggest focus being to develop the connection and understanding between rider and the horse.
