Ponies & Pilates? Yes, Please!

Gloria and her equine partner Noche are on a new adventure, and it's not just on the trail! She's combining thoughtful horsemanship with fitness and body awareness, thanks to the guidance of Eve Sheldon and Pilates Mistress Brenda Ostrum of Yosemite Pilates.

Dubbed “Ponies & Pilates,” this experience has been equal parts eye-opening, challenging, and totally fun. After a riding evaluation (hello, balance check!) followed by a Pilates session, Gloria discovered something amazing, muscles she didn’t even know existed AND a calmer, more collected Noche.

With a rebalanced seat and improved body position, Noche responded beautifully, proof that when we move better, our horses feel better.

This new approach is being woven into our Whole Horse Herbs mindset: supporting wellness, strength, and connection, for horse and human.

Stay tuned for more fitness-meets-horsemanship updates. Because exploring new ways to work with horses keeps it fresh, fun, and oh-so-rewarding!
