When you begin any new sport, one of the first things you need to do is be in the right physical shape for it. Every sport uses different muscle groups and stretches new areas of your body, which means that you will concentrate on different exercises in order to get in shape. This is no different with horseback riding. Although people say the horse does all the work, anyone who rides knows that to be a good rider, you need to be an athlete, and riding requires a lot of fitness. The best way to get in great shape and become a good rider is to ride. Having strong muscles is half of it, but training your brain and eyes and having balance and body control while on a moving object is also important. If you don't get this experience regularly, you will not be in the best possible shape for riding. The following are several exercises you can use on a daily basis to help stretch, strengthen and tone the muscle groups you use while riding.
