I love to ride horses. What can i do to get stronger to be able to ride longer?

Basketball between your knees- laying down and squeeze knees together against the ball. Makes for strong upper legs to grasp saddle more firmly.

Answer 2

Well first I ride horses all the time and I love horses.
You could stretch before you ride or work out the muscles that you need to get stronger there arealso some books about horsebackriding and which tell you which excersizes (suck at spelling sorry) to do at the gym depending on what you are doing on the horse. I really hope this helps.

Answer 3

Besides tennis and swimming, that is the most exersize I've ever gotten..I was a strong sturdy kid because of riding horses everyday.. and I believe I had a mild form of ms as a teenager.. I am now 34 and multiple sclerosis is trying to peak its ugly head out and I have continuously wondered if riding isn't going to be my cure.. You have to keep riding, every day or every other day and every muscle in your body with get extremely strong.. your body will be releasing hormones it never new it had. Your muscles will get sooo strong... so extremely strong. I know that your inner thigh muscles just feel like your dying for a week sometimes two after a first or second ride.. but you have to eat an ibuprofen and get right back on her/him.. and keep riding..You will notice strengths and abilities you've forgotten you had..like jumping off the top step or jumping off the tailgate of the truck instead of turning around backwards and sliding your foot everywhere trying to figure how to gently get down....When you've been riding horses for a while you get sooooo dang strong you start doing things like jumping off the tailgate...Good Luck alnd God Bless you

Answer 4

Riding is actually an exercise and burns calories. As any exercise the more you slowly increase your repetitions the stronger and more durable you become. So, try to ride more often and slowly build on the amount of time you ride.
