Training for equestrian performance’ is an essential guide for the
modern equestrian competitor who wants to optimise their own and their
horse’s potential in training and competition, or for the equine sports
science student wanting to understand the science of equestrian training.
Leading equestrian researchers and performance analysis experts bring
together the fundamental scientific principles which underpin competition
preparation for the horse and rider. These include exercise physiology,
psychology, conformation, biomechanics and feeding for performance. The
book explores the principles of training and alternative training methods,
and how these principles translate to management of the equine athlete to
extend careers and prevent injury occurring. Suggestions for how to
successfully develop training strategies and plans matched to short and
long term training and competition goals are provided. Developments in
performance analysis techniques and equipment for the horse and rider,
independently and as a partnership, are reviewed. This enables the reader
to select techniques and devise training regimes which can help them
achieve their own competitive goals. The book concludes by applying
science to the practical requirements of a range of equestrian
disciplines, giving practical advice and explanations of how to use
science and technology to improve fitness, prevent injury and to achieve
competition success. Horse owners, students, veterinarians, coaches and
many other participants in equestrian sports will find new knowledge and
perspectives to consider. ‘Training for equestrian performance’ will
become a must-have training companion for the modern equestrian who wants
to leave nothing to chance in their competition preparation.
