I've treated thousands of people and countless riders. Here are some of the common things that equestrians have challenges with:
Back pain or stiffness
Difficulty maintaining their position
Difficultly keeping their leg steady on the horse
Feel uneven or twisted
Loss of balance or connection
Gripping instead of flowing
Poor seat or body position
Fatigue and soreness after their rides
EQUESTRIANS NEED TO STRENGTHEN THEIR INNER UNIT CORE
If you're like most equestrians, you're not training your inner unit core. Your core is not just your typical "abs". The most important part of the core is the part that you can't see. It's the deeper muscles that support your spine, pelvis and breathing. These muscles are the foundation of everything for your riding!
THE CORE PROGRAM FOR EQUESTRIANS
Improve Your Fitness & Performance with The Ride Strong Core System
Designed by Physical Therapist and Equestrian, Dawn Payne
TRAIN LIKE AN ATHLETE
Riding alone does NOT build the specific strength your body needs to ride at your best. A strong, functional Inner Unit Core helps you:
Reduce back pain and stiffness
Stay centered and balanced
Sit taller without becoming stiff or bracing through your back
Absorb motion
Have a better, more effective seat
Stabilize through transitions
Have the foundation for quiet, steady legs
Give clearer, quieter aids
Reduce gripping through your legs or pulling through your reins (because you have a stable base)
Feel more secure when your horse makes an unexpected movement
Riders have predictable imbalances and areas of weakness. I see them in my clinic every single day, and I know how to fix them.
The Ride Strong Core Method
I broke my back and pelvis in some riding accidents that led me to live with persistent back pain, leg pain and headaches for over 15 years.
Hello, I AM DAWN PAYNE
I am a Physical Therapist and Equestrian.
I stopped riding. I went through injections. Rehab. Failed exercise programs. All while being a Physical Therapist.
When I finally returned to riding, I promised myself I’d never jump again. I jumped the first day back!
As I was returning to riding, I realized that traditional rehab and fitness weren’t enough for riders. So I created a system - Swish Fitness for Equestrians. And I developed The Ride Strong Core Method to improve my back pain, rebuild my strength, stability, and confidence in the saddle.
This is what you can expect when you implement The Ride Strong Core Method training
More stable in the saddle
Build rider specific core strength so you stay centred, secure, and steady every time you ride.
A steadier leg
Build a strong core strength foundation in your back and pelvis so your can leg stay steady, consistent and effective.
Sit deeper without gripping
Create true core stability so you can sit deep with strength while still staying supple.
Better balance over fences
Develop dynamic strength so you stay centered and move with your horse over every jump.
Reduce back and hip pain
Support your spine, pelvis and hips with specific, focused strength training that reduces strain.
Recover faster after falls
Improve resilience and recovery from better musculoskeletal structure so your body bounces back with confidence.
Included in the RIDE STRONG CORE method program
Learn the difference between the Inner Unit Core and the Outer Unit Core and why that is important to horse riders.
Learn how to properly isolate the inner unit core without compensating.
8 Instructional Videos 5-10 min long each teaching how to do rider specific core exercises.
There are multiple progressions provided for each core exercise and you can progress at your own pace.

What Our Clients Say About Us
It's fantastic! The exercises are tailored to your capabilities and targets the muscles I need to ride my horse and stay in the saddle. I can't say enough good things.
~Linda
I think everyone should do it. So many people don't realize they're lacking the little muscles because you don't really know until you try it. It's harder than it looks. At the end of the day, it's one of those things you won't regret doing.
~Alyssa N.
The fact that Dawn is a physio and has such a vast knowledge of anatomy and physiology really elevates the workouts to a whole other level.
