About the Book

An innovative and easy-to-use application of Pilates principles to the training, conditioning, and rehabilitation of horses.


This highly illustrated how-to manual provides a clear guide to new ways of thinking about how to prevent injury in the horse, and when injuries do happen, to help the horse's body recover in a mindful and safe way.


As a Pilates teacher for humans, horsewoman and eventer Laura Reiman has seen first-hand how consistent, quality exercise can ward off strain and injury, as well as heal. When her young horse was diagnosed with extreme back pain and a neurological disease, she turned to her knowledge of Pilates--the method she'd used to ease back pain in human clients for years--for help. She began to find ways to "bridge the gap" between the horse's mind and body to help increase his body awareness and core engagement.


The result is a cohesive series of original exercises that can be taken in parts or as a whole and seamlessly incorporated into an existing training program to be a:



  • Preventive tool to increase the horse's strength, balance, mobility, and stability.

  • Framework for a new program to help ease a horse back into work following an injury or time off.


Readers will find chapters dedicated to:



  • Observation-Basic anatomy and how to "know" your horse's body and movement.

  • Stretching-Including incentive, supported static hold, and dynamic mobilization stretches.

  • Core work-Such as the cat stretch and bridging.

  • In-hand strengthening work-With exercises like criss-cross and ground pole progressions.

  • Exercises on the longe line-Transitions, bending, and spiraling.

  • Lessons under saddle-Gymnastics, hillwork, basic dressage, and tips for a successful warm-up.

  • Alternative bodywork-Temperature therapy, massage, stability pads, bands, and more.


Pilates for Horses is an ideal instructional guide for all riders and trainers looking to build and maintain a solid foundation of strength and comfort for their horses.
