Horse riding as cross training?

[Tim Downie]

Having suffered two and a half hours on horseback yesterday (after a 6 gap in my riding), I was
reminded of the benefits to what would be fashionably called my "core" muscles.

Of course after such a long lay off, absolutely every other muscle from the waist down is wrecked
but I'm sure in the long term it will do me good. I have a blister in a place I never even
considered possible until yesterday. ;-)

Has anyone any experience, good or bad, of the effects of horse-riding as cross-training?

Stop whining, buttercup. After all, it was the horse that had to walk around with an impotent mouth
breather on it's back all day.

Just off-hand I think it would strengthen the adductor muscles and if not done to excess could
be helpful.

Yes, I fell off a horse once, it made me very cross. When I was cross I could run faster than the
lazy bloody nag was going in the first place. Next time I will take the train!
