Physical exercise 

Riding provides physiotherapy on the move; the warmth and three dimensional movement of the horse is transmitted through the body of the rider helping you to relax, and strengthen your core muscles enabling you to become stronger and more supple.  Many riders also find that riding helps improve their posture, balance and coordination. Many referrals are given from medical professionals to improve health and well-being.
