🐴 If I’ve said this once I’ve said it 100 times but looking down is the most common of rider faults (guilty as charged over here!!). I'm pretty sure that your horse is not going to disappear out from under you, and yet we all love to stare down at our horses' head when riding!!
🏇🏻 It is so common and yet it has a really significant impact on our position. Our eyeline moves our head, and our head moves our body!
👀 This week we’ve got the amazing Equestrian Physio Specialist Stephanie Seheult from Ride Advanced Physiotherapy back with us and she’s going to show us the correct way to look up!
🌟 Before we start explaining the correct way to look up, let’s talk about why looking down is bad!
1️⃣ Firstly, your head weighs about as much as a bowling ball (between 10-15lbs), but motion will increase the force of your head coming down on the horses’ body to upwards of 60lbs.
2️⃣ Secondly, when you look down, it pulls the muscles in the back of your neck, collapses your chest, and inhibits your breathing which reduces the amount of oxygen in your muscles.
🦵 It is really important that when you look up, you do it correctly and that you get the alignment of your ear directly above your shoulder so that the weight of your head goes down through your spine. (Often our heat pokes too much forward).
🐴 In order to look up CORRECTLY, you need to slide your chin back and slightly tuck it in and almost create a double chin.
🏇🏻 Think about lengthening the back of the neck by lifting the back of the skull away from the shoulders to open the angle between your shoulders and the bottom of your head.
👀 Have a look and watch me taking instruction from Stephanie and demonstrate this while I’m riding Natasha and let me know if you find it helpful!

Great visualization of the problem and solution. Thanks! It's hard not to look down because his ears and poll are so darn CUTE!
Haha!! I feel your pain! Cute ears are the best!
Love the fancy new skelly shirts, Stephanie!!!!
Great, thank you. This is so common mistake, that we usually depractiate this among all the others. But this is so important for our riding positon, balance and also our own health. Thank you!
This is an excellent video. I see so many young people now with poor posture. This video can really help.
I'm always working on this- this was so helpful!! Thanks Amelia.
Yes I do then I am promptly reminded! Looking forward to trying this

Great video! Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Love how you wear that skeleton suit - it shows things so clearly! I lift my chin up too much. Great exercise to try!
Very good information. I am blind in my right eye, which not only gives me difficulty with straightness, but also I do tend to look down. My trainer keeps telling me that my horse's withers are not going to fall off!
Remember that what you feel is transmitted in your brain faster than what you see! Try to learn to feel and not see! It will make a you a better rider!
Love this! You must watched
the video from my show. Lol
I did!😂😂
I always look somewhere down left, when I consntrate. It has nothing to do with riding, I do the same when holding a speach or something.
Try a focal point at eye level at the end of the arena. It really helps people who need to gaze at something.
For your #support
Great video! Where do I get one of those cool bodysuits?
(I got mine on amazon)
