The equine industry and the competition rider community are increasingly acknowledging that rider strength and fitness contribute to successful performance, and other sporting disciplines are more aware of the potential to improve performance. This study aimed to determine if the rider could maintain the classical position i.e., with a straight line between the ear, shoulder, hip and heel pre and post an additional dismounted fitness training programme. Students N = 16 completed a dismounted training programme. All candidates were self-reported as sedentary and graded novice by a qualified riding instructor. Initial measurements of the deviation from the ESHH ear, shoulder, hip, heel alignment were carried out prior to the start of the regime, weekly and at the end of the 8-week training programme. An initial data collection was carried out prior to any additional fitness regime in walk, rising trot and sitting trot. An exercise session was timetabled into the syllabus as well as an hour riding session to film the candidates on a weekly basis. Each rider had 3D spherical markers attached at specific anatomical landmarks; QuinticTM Sports Biomechanics Video Analysis Software package allowed a vertical line to be drawn; the deviation of each marker from this line was recorded. Deviations from ESHH alignment were not normally distributed. The deviation of the marker in relation to time, marker placement, gait and repeat stride were tested using a Friedman test. The comparison between rider subject and marker factor was analysed using a Kruskal Wallis test. Additionally, dismounted exercise regimes suggested a significant improvement on novice rider position P 〈 0.005, each gait had a significant effect on the deviation from the ESHH alignment N = 16, H2 = 221.53; P 〈 0.001. The results suggest that additional exercise programs are effective at improving novice horse rider position, however, which exercise programs are most effective in advancing performanc
