Pilates for Equestrians – Matwork CPD Course
If you’re already qualified in Pilates matwork and want to confidently work with riders, this course is designed for you.
Whether your clients are happy hackers, amateur competitors, or elite equestrians, this specialist online CPD course will help you bridge the gap between your Pilates knowledge and the specific needs of the rider.
With over 206 years of teaching experience, I’ve worked with riders at every level and have seen first-hand which Pilates exercises truly make a difference to balance, body awareness, coordination, stability, confidence, and performance in the saddle.
This course gives you the tools to understand how riders use their bodies, where common restrictions and compensations often show up, and how to create thoughtful, effective Pilates programmes to support them.
Inside this course, we’ll take an in-depth look at:
-
The most common movement patterns and imbalances seen in riders
-
How Pilates can support better posture, alignment, balance, and coordination
-
How to select and adapt exercises for different riding abilities and disciplines
-
How to build a Pilates programme that supports improved horsemanship and riding performance
-
How to better observe and understand the rider’s body, both in and out of the saddle
This is a practical, insightful course designed to help you feel more confident and specific when teaching equestrian clients.

What Teachers Are Saying
“I loved the course — loved it!
I had lots of ‘ah ha’ moments when doing the exercises along with the videos in my own body, and now I’m spotting my clients’ compensations and sticky areas so much more clearly. I’m also much better able to help them out of it than before.
I took a LOT of notes!”
