Eventer augments riding with plenty of additional exercise and the same care for her own body that her horses receive.
by Lyndsey Gruber of Athletux
While most people would call riding eight to 10 horses a day plenty of exercise, Auburn Excell Brady of Excell Equestrian in San Juan Capistrano doesn’t just do her cardio on the back of a horse. Eventing may be the equestrian version of a triathalon, but Auburn considers it important to incorporate the human version into her fitness routine. She spends time in the pool several days a week and calls a good swim “low-impact but a total body workout.” She also enjoys spin classes for a cardio fix. Exercise outside of the saddle is incredibly important to her success in the saddle, and the Excell Equestrian team goes on group work-out sessions whenever possible.
