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?

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! W:>😉
