Core exercises for dressage riders aren’t about building a six-pack —they’re about building a core that can stabilise, absorb, and flow with your horse. A rider’s core has a different job than just crunching. It needs to: ✨ keep your pelvis steady without gripping ✨ support tall posture without bracing ✨ absorb movement in sitting trot ✨ keep your rein contact soft and even ✨ connect your breath to your seat When your core isn’t doing its job, you’ll feel: ❌ collapsing in transitions ❌ bouncing

Not workouts that leave you stiff. Not exercises that don’t translate to the saddle. And definitely not training that fights against the feel you’re trying to create when you ride. Rider-friendly strength is about support, not strain. It’s about teaching your body to stabilise, coordinate, and move with your horse — not brace against them. In this reel, are some of my go-to rider-specific exercises: • Horse Stance Pointer – builds diagonal control and coordination for steadier aids • Side Plank
