This March happens to be National Nutrition Month. As I went about this month doing several activities with the Student Nutrition Council, I started to wonder how nutrition relates to the team and to the sport of riding a horse in general. Riding a horse is absolutely physical and is considered a sport (at least in my book) and I believe it is important for us as competitors to keep nutrition in mind. As I was searching for any information about nutrition and how it relates to equine sports, I was somewhat disappointed to find that there was not much information out there.
I did happen to find this website that had some videos and articles that gave some brief advice on nutrition in the show season. If you are interested click this link Rider Nutrition
This website, though simple, at least brings awareness to riders that they should be conscience about their eating habits during the show season.
The ASU Western Equestrian team is a club sport at Arizona State University. We are a small group of girls dedicated to horses as well as the horse community. This blog is intended to keep the public up to date on accomplishments, activities, and general information about the team.
