Heckingham Hall Arena

Horse riding provides several physical benefits because your body is constantly working to stay balanced and move with the horse.

Some of the main benefits include:

Strengthens your core: Your abdominal and back muscles work continuously to maintain balance and good posture.
Improves balance and coordination: Riding helps you develop better body control and coordination as you respond to the horse’s movements.
Builds leg strength: Your thighs, calves, and hips are actively engaged to maintain a secure position and communicate with the horse.
Improves posture: Correct riding technique encourages a straight back, open shoulders, and proper spinal alignment.
Increases flexibility: Your hips, pelvis, and lower back become more flexible as they move with the horse’s gait.
Enhances cardiovascular fitness: Trotting, cantering, and longer rides can raise your heart rate, especially during more demanding sessions.
Boosts endurance: Regular riding helps improve muscular endurance, allowing you to maintain good form for longer periods.
Improves joint mobility: The rhythmic motion of the horse gently mobilizes the hips and pelvis, helping maintain flexibility.
Develops fine motor control: Riders learn to use subtle, precise movements of their hands, legs, and seat to communicate with the horse.
Can increase bone strength: Like other weight-bearing activities, riding may contribute to maintaining bone health, particularly when combined with other exercise.

RIP to the absolute legend Monty Roberts who sadly passed away on Friday, age 91.
A great man who made a massive impact on the equestrian world and made it a better place.

Edit. At 13.39 today a mini tornado hit the arena. We have this on video. We are totally relieved. It was bizarre it threw the wall out of the arena We will post to show. If anyone would like to come and see the cctv please come and see us. Likewise if anyone would like to discuss anything , please come and see us face to face.

A sorry day. To think anyone could treat our jumps like this is unbelievable. The poor girl following had to spend 40 minutes trying to rebuild. We have given her a free hire but it really is not acceptable

Turn out pen wanted. Please WhatsApp or DM. Thank you
