How Franklin Balls Are Used in Equestrian Training
-
Under the Seat Bones (in the saddle)
-
Placed discreetly under each seat bone while riding, the Franklin Balls encourage the rider to release tension in the pelvis and sit more evenly.
-
This improves awareness of asymmetries and helps riders find a deeper, more balanced seat.
-
-
Between the Thighs or Knees
-
When held gently between the thighs, they engage the adductor muscles and improve leg stability without gripping.
-
This strengthens the connection between core and legs, refining aids and balance.
-
-
Under the Feet (off the horse)
-
Standing on Franklin Balls before or after riding helps release fascia in the feet and improve proprioception (body awareness).
-
This translates into better posture and weight distribution in the saddle.
-
-
For Core and Posture Exercises (off the horse)
-
Used in groundwork, stretching, or Pilates-style exercises, Franklin Balls improve core strength, spinal alignment, and balance.
-
This carries over directly to riding, making aids lighter and more effective.
-
-
Breathing and Relaxation
-
Placing Franklin Balls under the back or ribs while lying down helps riders release tension in the diaphragm and back muscles.
-
A more relaxed, supple rider allows the horse to move more freely.
