14.01.2022 Safety first! No matter how often you practice, sometimes they just don’t want to play! Powder was obviously feeling stretched enough. No horses or humans were injured in this exercise (and yes, he did it correctly afterwards )... #EquissageEdge #VirtualHorsePilates #stretching #blooper

08.01.2022 Small steps for big changes Number 1 - Effective Breathing Sounds simple, yes? But 90% of riders that I assess for the first time aren’t breathing pro...perly. Ideally what should happen is that as we take a breath in, our diaphragm contracts to allow the lungs to fill with air and our belly pushes outward. As we breath out, our diaphragm relaxes and the air leaves our lungs and our stomach flattens. We are born using our diaphragm easily to breathe, just watch a baby and how their tummy moves as they breathe. But stress, posture, pain, constantly pulling our tummies in, etc, all get in the way and our breathing patterns can change. A lot of core exercise programmes teach an accessory breathing pattern and can block the action of the diaphragm. We become reliant on accessory breathing muscles in the chest, neck and shoulders and these end up as our primary breathing muscle patterns. This can lead to neck and shoulder tension, headaches, or thoracic pain and restriction as these muscles are not designed to work constantly. Why learn to breathe properly? 60-70% of our lung blood supply is in the lower half of the lungs so if we are not getting air in deep enough we have less oxygen travelling through our blood supply to our brain, organs and muscles, therefore we can fatigue more quickly. Not great if we’re trying to get fit!! Diaphragmatic (belly) breathing can make a massive impact to our movement and fitness. Imagine how much easier a 5 minute dressage test or course of jumps would be if we were able to breathe more effectively. Slow, controlled diaphragmatic breathing stimulates our vagus nerve and activates the parasympathetic nervous system reducing the fight or flight response, lowering cortisol levels and improving heart rate variability. A useful technique if you’re nervous before a dressage test or course of jumps!! Try my diaphragm reset and then do 20 full diaphragmatic breaths every night before you sleep. Then once it is easy to do try it in sitting, standing, and then when you’re on your horse: https://vimeo.com/410988039 This small step will make a big change to your posture, your mood, your fitness capabilities and your ability to control your nerves. Breathe better, move better, ride better Maeve #smallsteps #2021goals #breathebettermovebetterridebetter #jointhebungirevolution #activateyourseat
