IMPROVE YOUR SEAT AND ENHANCE YOUR RIDING EXPERIENCE

Through clear explanations and photos of each exercise, The Rider’s Fitness Guide to a Better Seat helps you achieve a good basic position that is centered, aligned, balanced, and relaxed. An improved seat will help you eliminate back pain and post-riding soreness, lessen fatigue, enjoy riding more, minimize the risk of injury, and improve your performance. Inside you’ll find:

  • Three full exercise routines for beginner, intermediate, and advanced fitness levels, all requiring just minutes a day
  • Exercise programs that do not require special equipment, so you can do them at home, in the barn, or on the go
  • A lay-flat, spiral-bound format and two free tear-out workout guides for take-anywhere convenience

After just ten days on the beginner program, you’ll feel a difference in your seat; after a month on the intermediate program, you’ll have a “new” seat; the advanced program offers lifelong maintenance to ensure your continued riding pleasure and improved performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Goes Hand in Hand with "Zen and Horseback Riding"
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2013
Verified Purchase
I bought this a year ago but only recently have put it to use, coupled with what I've learned reading "Zen and Horseback Riding". I'm starting to feel results; I give this book 4 stars only because I haven't finished it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Very Dry Read
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2010

This book was not what I expected. Text book type authoring, basically an anatomy course before you find any mention of exercises (in basic black and white print without color), One would need to have a lot of time on hand to labor through words that take a while to get to the point...

Some may like it, but for for the normal everyday person like myself...I don't have the time or the desire to wade through all the material to get what I need.

3.0 out of 5 stars heals up & nose behind??? for a dressage rider? Piaffe maybe in the pic?
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021
Giving 3 for now. I have read the beginning. Got to the pictures of Good Seats and found the first one, a dressage rider with heals up, and the horse behind the vertical. Alost was leaning forward. Bad Start, but I want to understand the muscles that support a good seat so will read and then update my review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful training book

A good way to ensure the muscles which are used most for riding are strengthened and stretched. Probably a book to borrow from the library as once read not really sure how often would refer to it.
