How often do I need to excercise?
We recommend practicing the exercises actively for 15–30 minutes, four times a week at a minimum. Like with any other sport, the more you train, the better you get. The RIB method is based on your own movement patterns and balance, and it’s not meant to be a quick fix — it’s about how you move from the moment you get up in the morning until you go to bed, every single day.
Our vision
Welfare
In-depth knowledge of the horse and its anatomy helps riders train their horses more effectively and understand how the rider’s position impacts the horse’s health and welfare.
Health
By improving their balance and position on the horse, riders can prevent and reduce wear and tear, as well as injuries to their own bodies over time.
Performance
Through increased body awareness and continuous training on specific technical skills, both the rider and the horse can perform better together.
