“Moving as much as possible is the key ingredient as you age. If you stay still for too long everything kind of seizes up much faster when you’re older. It’s a lot like we do with our older horses. We try to keep them moving as much as we can because it’s good for their joints, their circulation, their muscles—everything. And it keeps them fitter.”
~ Olympic show jumper Margie Engle, who is 68 and still riding at the top of her game

As women, accepting that our bodies are going to change in middle age, in ways that are almost completely out of our control, can feel maddening—especially if you’re an equestrian who wants to continue your riding ambitions.

We talked to five upper-level riders from across the English disciplines to get their real-world advice and top fitness tips to help you deal with mid-life changes while continuing to ride your best.

🐴 Rider Tip of the Month: Soften Your Hands

A soft connection starts with quiet hands. Keep your elbows relaxed and allow your hands to follow your horse's movement rather than holding the reins too tightly.

Soft, steady hands can help your horse stay relaxed, balanced, and responsive.

What's one riding skill you're working on this month?
