A few years ago, a friend who is an accomplished Dressage rider told me that she felt stuck in her position, and that her horse was also fixed in how she went. After not finding the solution in clinics and lessons, she felt discouraged in her riding. Due to health needs, my friend began yoga classes and found that the yoga benefited her riding.

She was no longer stuck in her own riding position because she became supple and strong. Her position-softening affected how her horse moved. Her horse became more fluid and an overall better mover. She was quite pleased with the improvement in her and her horse, and gave yoga the credit!

Because of this story, we have decided to offer yoga in all of our summer camp programs. The classes are offered to campers who may participate if they choose. We have a separate yoga studio for classes.
