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.
