SADDLEHORSE
MATWORK
RIDDEN
on a static saddle horse, look at your
alignment horse and try some exercises
work on targeted matwork &
functional exercises specific to your
needs Take away your note sheet
whilst riding, work on position,
perform exercises and then before &
after comparison
I love the riding term ‘Combination’
it’s such a great concept...you and
your horse are a team. It is widely
known that Pilates is amazing for
helping the Rider’s body &
awareness...but at SaddleWorks we
feel it is important to learn both
in the studio and in the arena
SaddleWorks offers 3 Phases
working with both you and your horse
SaddleHorse
MatWork
Ridden
Done together, in our Day Camps these
phases can be a powerful tool to improve
confidence & control and reduce injuries
(in both you & your horse).
We can work on any phase separately.
The studio based Workshops focus on off
the horse work using
MatWork Pilates and the SaddleHorse

SaddleHorse
On the Saddle Horse, we look at your
natural posture whilst in the riding
position....but without the distraction-
or influence- of the horse! This really
helps develop body awareness and
allows us to decide our exercise plan

Matwork
After working with your body both on
& off the horse, we learn exercises
specific to you which can help release
tightness and develop strength in order
for you to manage and control your
body more easily

Riding
It is really important to see the
interaction between you & your horse
to help the SaddleWorks process...you
both effect each other. The riding
lesson gives us context and helps you to
practise what you have learned
