And it Does Not Just Help Fat Old men
Unless you are training for the Olympics, chances are that you are not nearly in as good of a physical condition as Abbie was. Even so, she has lost 6 pounds, gained a great deal of strength, and has improved her ability to ride simply by----riding, and riding, and riding. She has a 25 mile ride coming up that she has been training for and she has been training by-----riding and riding, and riding. Twenty five miles of trotting conditions both horse and rider but it also gives the balance and strength needed to become a first rate rider.
I all seriousness, I am surprised that Abbie got those kinds of results because she already was in top shape. It really shows what riding can do for a couch potato.
