From Annette Willson (Rider and Physiotherapist)
Dear Rider and Competitor,
I used to be a sloppy unbalanced rider. I hated it. I developed this program for myself and went onto compete at levels I only dreamed of. I was asked over and over for lessons and asked HOW do you become balanced and still in the saddle. This program will teach you HOW.
Riding is not as easy as the experts make it look. It is difficult to keep your balance and be effective with your aids. It is so hard to stay upright and look good in the saddle.
Of all the paces the sit trot; it is the most difficult movement to perform dignified and well.
Most riders bounce in the saddle, their legs flap against the horses’ side their hands cling to the reins for balance and they lean forward.
Many riders have difficulty keeping an upright posture through transitions and keeping their seat in the saddle at the canter.
When giving an aid, they bend their wrists, look down and lean forward. Their heels come up, their lower back stiffens. Their horse drops his shoulder, throws his head up and tightens his back.
If this is you and your daily routine , and to make it all worse… you repeat it over and over thinking practice will help but ……………you don’t get any better!
THEN READ ON
WHY AM I
QUALIFIED
TO TEACH YOU HOW TO RIDE BETTER
READ ON
I have been a highly successful competitor in eventing and dressage. I have competed successfully up to international level and was a member of the South Australian Olympic training squad.
I am a horse riding instructor having instructed 100s of riders using my unique techniques and physiotherapy knowledge. I have a Masters of Physiotherapy. I am a Pilates educator training people from all sports. I practice Pilates to control my own lower back pain and for my riding.
I began my riding career with all the problems I see in my pupils. I spent $1000s on lessons. I could not achieve the level of riding I was aiming for. My instructors could not help me.
After studying Physiotherapy and applying my knowledge to my riding skills I learnt my basic posture was my problem, both on and off the horse.
I used my knowledge of physiotherapy to develop a specific group of exercises based on the Pilates concept and applied them solely to horse riders.
I understand how to use specific muscle groups to feel and move with the horse. I know which parts of the body need more strength and which parts need more flexibility.
I teach this off the horse and then in the saddle. I call these physio riding lessons. Riders have been amazed at the difference, knowledge and practice has done to their riding and benefited with huge improvement.

Danielle had the typical problems we all have, she could be you?
DANIELLE HAS CHANGED HER LIFE AS A RIDER
This is a long text but inspirational to read, you too can achieve what Danielle has.
Dear Annette,
Thank you for putting together the applied posture riding program. It has been the answer to my prayers in so many ways. When getting back into riding after having my son no matter what I tried I couldn't regain core strength, balance and security in the saddle.
I tried all types of exercise and traditional pilaties but found nothing worked. Additionally, most pilaties books don’t explain the techniques well. I’d said to my husband many times I need an exercise that simulates riding a horse that I can do all day. Two weeks later I saw your tiny advertisement in Horse Deals, visited your website and thought it was worth a go.
Well, your program was the best $100 I ever spent. Since starting the program in May my riding has improved in leaps and bounds. I have a really big moving horse, which is great to watch but not easy to ride. I can now sit in harmony with my horse (he is very grateful for this and sends his many thanks). It doesn’t matter how big the trot I just sit. In fact the quality of his paces has improved as a result of my riding improving. The accuracy of our tests has improved because I can focus on riding not trying to hang on!
There are so many great things about your program. First, you can literally LIVE on the ball. I have one at home and one at work which is fantastic because I can be doing exercise all day that simulates riding. Second, the way you describe the exercises is simple and easy to apply. Third, transferring things from ball to horse is a natural progression. So for anyone who only has 1 or 2 horses in work and has an office job this is ideal because you can literally be riding all day!
In general my overall strength has improved significantly over the last 6 months. I’d had a shoulder problem for the last 6 years and nothing seemed to give relief. Since starting the ball exercises the improvement has been amazing. It’s not completely better yet but it’s getting there. I haven’t had to take any pain killers for over 4 months. This was a problem I thought I was just going to have to live with for the rest of my life.
I suppose the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Over the last few months I’ve been received compliments from judges on how much my riding has improved. Many of whom have asked what I’ve done. (I know a couple have ordered ball and book since). Also, I attended a few clinics recently and all 3 instructors could not get over the improvement in my riding and subsequently the way my horse was going. They were desperate to know what I’d done.
Of course I’ve been telling everyone about the book and ball. I just love it and can’t speak highly enough of it. You can probably tell once I start talking about it I can’t stop. I simply LIVE on the ball now and love it. Anyone who wants to improve their posture and riding should seriously look at this program. You can spend a fortune in this industry on saddles, gimics and clinics to try to improve your riding. But there is one simple, cost effective solution Applied Posture riding. If someone is truly committed to spending limited time every day doing the exercises the benefits they will see and feel will be enormous.
Sorry this is so long but I REALLY love your product and want to tell the world. Thank you again.
Kind Regards,
Danielle Sutherland
Member of the Tasmanian Dressage Development Squad
Kelly has ambitions to be great
I have been looking for something to clarify what all my instructors are trying to say. This book explains HOW to sit up straight and maintain this position. The wording easily works through the process of using your muscles to be effective with your aids.
The ball exercises are so relevant to riding I can’t believe how simple it is. I recommend this book to all riders.
Kelly. WA
Emma is an Event rider with dreams of International success
I never realised how much thought and training went into the rider. I have always been taught to train my horse not myself. By training my riding muscles I now have a greater understanding of what I am doing. I am stronger, more effective and look better in the saddle. I also suffer less pain after riding. This is a must for all riders.

Tim has found he was problem not his Horses
I thought it was my bad luck that every horse I rode was bouncy and uptight. After reading and doing the Applied Posture Riding exercises and lessons that’s changing. Thanks Annette it really is that simple. My muscles love it.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM POOR POSTURE?
Most horse riders experience poor balance and poor
muscle control, stopping them achieving a stable,
coordinated deep seat.
Are you one of the millions of riders who have difficulty sitting the sit trot, bounce at the canter, can’t maintain an upright posture and just can’t get the feel of the horse?
Does your instructor use the following terms
Over and over and over each lesson?
Look up Shoulders back Relax your back More leg More seat Keep your legs still, keep your body upright Apply more leg
So Many Riders
Get stuck from achieving their ambitions as riders
because they have muscle imbalances resulting in
poor posture and poor stability.
Riding instructors CANNOT help you with this problem.
Everyday living activities can influence your riding
posture.
DO YOU SUFFER FROM THIS PROBLEM?
READ ON
Did you know?
A forward head posture is a weakness in the neck flexors. This is a cause of headaches and a head wobble in horse riders. Round shoulders are due to weak shoulder blade muscles. Hence riders are unable to keep their shoulders back. Tight chest muscles result in a slumped posture and round shoulders. Many riders struggle with a slumped posture. The abdominal muscles are the most important group of muscles for controlling the body’s core stability, riders need strong core stability. The pelvis and lower back joints MUST be flexible. These are areas in every person that create pain and stiffness due to daily living, let alone when riding. The hamstring muscles are mostly short and weak in the general population. Riders need strong coordinated hamstrings because this is the dominant muscle used to gain more impulsion when riding. Keeping the heels down requires long calf muscles.
A good rider has knowledge of their body and
posture. This gives them confidence, strength, skills
and stability which allows them to achieve high level
results
When you are out competing next time enjoy it when others say to you
“HOW DO YOU STAY SO STILL IN THE SIT TROT”
You to can achieve the following
Be still at the sit trot. Have an upright stable position. Keep your heels down and still. Feel the rhythm of the horse. Move with the horse not bounce on him. Maintain a soft gentle rein contact. Apply the inside leg independent of other limbs. Not balance on the reins. Look like an Olympic rider. Be extremely confident and amazed at your ability.
Applied Posture Riding
WILL INTRODUCE YOU TO
A totally new way of using your body in the saddle.
I guarantee once you follow this
New unique way of exercising.

By following the step-by- step Physio Ball Exercises
in Part 1
You Will learn how to use specific muscle groups
You will learn to balance on a ball, this exercise teaches you posture control specific to riding and is the first step to learning to balance in the saddle. The exercises will show you how to loosen up your pelvis to become more flexible and independent of your upper body, you will be able to move your spine easily without stiffness. You will learn the pelvic tilt on the ball. Riders need the pelvis to be able to roll forwards and backwards in the saddle. This is taught on the ball first. The exercises will teach you HOW TO use the pelvic tilt on the ball. Specific exercises teach you the use of the pelvic tilt when giving aids to your horse. You will strengthen your upper body posture. Your upper back will become strong enabling you to have an upright posture. You will learn HOW TO isolate arm movements to apply a half halt perfectly. The exercise program teaches this skill on the ball. You will be able to isolate your hamstring activity. The hamstring is the most important muscle in the leg for dressage riders.

Stevie will go to the Olympics
My mum recently purchased your book for me. I wanted to contact you and thank you. I’m currently only up to the first few exercises but the difference in my riding is just unbelievable. Just to locate the lower ab muscle and pelvic floor muscle, I don’t know how after riding for 14 years and competing at two star I’ve been able to get this far without knowing about this muscle.
Thank you so very much.
Stevie
I asked Stevie If I could use his words and he replied
you certainly may Annette, and I'm not at all concerned about the use of my full name. If it encourages more people to understand and know how to use their body by knowing once I'm an Olympian that I used your program. Your more than welcome to add it on.
THIS IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM
Specific for horse riders of any discipline or level
Dressage Riders will become sensitive, accurate and completely refined with their aids. The sit trot will be easy, and the canter will be elegant.
Jump Riders will achieve a completely stable lower leg and upper body strength. You will be balanced for that big drop fence. The water fence will be a dry ride.
Pleasure Riders will enjoy their riding more and be safe, confident and have fun every ride.

Most people take their posture for granted
My posture muscles were muscles I took for granted. Now I know what they are, how to test them, how to use them and how to ride with their support I am a new person and a new rider. Thanks Annette, I feel so inspired now.

Pilates and back pain a great team
My doctor told me to give up riding and do pilates for my back pain. I spoke to Annette about this, she recommended “Applied Posture Riding”. Little did he know pilates and riding go together. I am now riding daily and can control my back pain. My riding is fun again.
