Equestrian Fitness Program

As a former elite level gymnastics coach, Tara Boone understands the benefits of strong physical fitness and nutrition for an athlete.

One of the greatest things the SLEC Physical Training Program can do for young equestrians is teach them about active and healthy lifestyles as young athletes.

By focusing on the four fundamentals (cardiovascular excercise, strength training, flexibility and nutrition), the SLEC Physical Training Program is a great way for young equestrians to learn about the importance of a well-balanced diet coupled with their equestrian training.

As a parent, you may think of equestrian sports as difficult and only focusing on the riding of the horse and the horses health. While this is true, SLEC Physical Training Program enhances the young riders ability to be able to handle the horse more effectively, fall with safety and keep a fit body which compliments the mental and physical demands of competition.

The fundamentals they young riders learn through this program will give them the tools needed to compete in any sport they may choose.

SLEC is proud to be one of the first equestrian programs in the state to offer a physical training program to it's athletes.
