The "Core" of The Matter

Core strength is a current buzz phrase in fitness and riding. Students tell me "if only I was stronger in my core I could .... (fill in the blank)...." It's as if your "core" will answer all your riding problems, overcome lack of fitness and create that perfect flat stomach which many Americans desire. However, in my experience, rider's who overly focus on core strength miss the larger and more important picture.

Riding through the Masai Mara, Kenya on Horseback

Fording the river. There had been rain for the last two weeks even though this was supposed to be the dry season.

As dawn arrives mid-safari we head out for the “long day”, a ride of over 40km. Our camp moves from one side of the high plains to the other. The entire 8-day ride – over 250 km (150 miles) is without fences, gates or boarders other than river crossings. Although it was supposed to be the dry season, rain had come early to the Masai Mara and it is lush and green, as I would imagine of Ireland. The river crossings create detours for the vehicles as a horseback safari of 11 guests and over 14 crew move from one camp to another every 2 days. We stayed at 4 different campsites, made three complete moves with horses, kitchen (whip cream topped deserts and yoghurt dressed the breakfast table), tents, vehicles and dog over the course of 9 days in February 2010.
