Ride Right with Daniel Stewart by Daniel Blair Stewart
Riders are athletes in the truest sense of the word yet the majority of them fail to treat themselves as such. Most riders would never consider working a horse without first warming it up, but fail to treat their own bodies with the same respect. Daniel Stewart's Ride Right system will improve rider and horse performance simply by showing riders how to improve themselves. There are three main phases in the Ride Right system: rider biomechanics - the how and why of balance, posture, symmetry and body awareness; strength, stamina and suppleness - the conditioning of the rider's body with specially designed stretching and fitness exercises; rider frame of mind - sports psychology, relaxation and visualization. All these elements, together with good health and nutrition, will show riders how to excel.
Daniel Steward received a degree in exercise physiology from the University of Calgary and pursued a career as an exercise physiologist specializing in equestrian clients. He spent seven years at the renowned Sports Training Institute in New York City where he was responsible for training and rehabilitating the institute's equestrian clients as well as developing sport-specific training techniques for other sports. Daniel is now running his Ride Right programme full time. He travels nationally and internationally conducting unmounted and mounted rider bio-mechanics and fitness training seminars, and is a consultant and coach to the United States equestrian team's endurance squad and para-Olympic team.
