"Core Stability" An unstable core in a rider will affect riding performance in a number of ways. The rider will compensate by gripping with the more developed muscles such as arms or legs causing unnecessary movement in the saddle. Riders compensate for lack of core stability with movement of the body which will result in both the horse and rider being off balance. Such compensations impact on riding posture with the unwanted result being a lack of effectiveness, possible back or neck pain and laboured breathing when riding.
