Re: conditioning human body for endurance

["holzer" <holzer@hal-pc.org>]

Also Yoga and Pilates are excellent conditioners for riding.  I used to do
intensive Yoga before I went snow skiing.  I find it and Pilates work great
for riding too.  Both disciplines work a lot on balance and centering of
breathing and body position.  The breathing also relaxes me , sometimes
through pain on 100s, and helps me feel in sync with my horse.  I am 50 and
just started endurance last year.  I love it and aspire to be like my idol,
Bobbie Barber.  What a gal!     Vicki and Smokey Bear
