So you've probably heard me go on about strength and conditioning work for horse riders but I am not the only one talking about it 

Today I speak with James Crichton (or Crabby) all about strength and conditioning for equestrians

Crabby is a strength and conditioning coach who works with athletes in several different sports. He kind of accidentally started working with horse riders due to a connection through his sister and because of this he recently launched an online programme for equestrians.

We talk about the benefits of strength training for horse riders and how the sport is quite behind compared to other sports in this area of training.

How pogo and jumping work is not just for your horse.

Creating a buy-in when working with clients.

Common issues we see with horse riders (back pain am I right?) 

How online works better when it comes to equestrians as their schedules are so hectic and can change at a moments notice

We also have a little rant about how the trainers who sell the most aren't always the best but just the loudest.

This is a great episode for horse riders who still aren't sure if they should start some form of gym-based training to help improve their riding so I highly recommend giving it a listen.
