H&H Live Q&A: Rider fitness with Equicision
August 11, 2009
Danny Warrington and Mike Pilato are the founders of Equicision, a radical new exercise programme designed to minimise riding-related injuries.
Danny is an experienced four-star event rider, while Mike is a certified athletics coach, who provides sports medical care for athletes up to Olympic level.
Both believed that equestrian athletes, like other athletes, needed a structured fitness and injury management programme. But there wasn't anything like that in existence, so they set about inventing one.
Their programme is designed to enable riders to perform better, avoid picking up injuries and help minimise the impact of previously acquired damage.
Danny and Mike will be online from 12 noon to 2pm on Tuesday 18 August to talk about how their programme works and advise riders how certain exercises can help to combat common areas of physical weaknesses and prevent regular riding injuries.
Register above for a reminder email to make sure you don't miss out on what promises to be a very interesting discussion, and pick up a copy of Thursday's magazine (13 August, '09) for a feature about the team's work. You can also chat to Mike and Danny on the H&H stand at Burghley.
