Any other equestrians?

I'm loosing weight to gain more from my riding... just started competing at dressage and know that if I'm fitter we'll do better. 9lbs down so far and I suspect that Boris has already noticed

    Hi! I also ride dressage ( switched after years of hunters) and after an honest talk with my trainer I decided to lose weight and improve my fitness. I've lost 26# so far but have 35# to go. My horse has definitly noticed and we are going to our first dressage show at Training level next month.

    Hi there, I ride dressage, western dressage, open shows, and will hopefully start cross rails this year. I lost #80, gained #70 back and lost #30 again. I'm not sure my horses notice as much but it sure is easier to balance being lighter.
