2. INTRODUCTION
 As a partner at Boies, Schiller & Flexner, LLP, attorney Lisa M. Nousek
concentrates in the area of commercial law, and she has represented
clients ranging from startup companies to Fortune 100 entities. Away
from her professional responsibilities, Lisa M. Nousek enjoys caring for
her horses and trail riding.
People may not depend on horses for transportation like they once did,
but many still turn to riding for other reasons, including leisure and sport.
Horseback riding has additionally proven to be a reliable activity for
exercise and improving health. Here are a few examples.
1. The pre-ride workout
One of the top reasons horseback riding offers so many health benefits
is that it creates a variety of exercise. In fact, the workout begins before
ever mounting the horse. Grooming and saddling all require physical
movement and strength.

 2. Staying on the horse
Riders develop a significant amount of core strength by
establishing and maintaining their position on a horse. In addition,
the horseback riding targets and tones the pelvic muscles and
inner thighs, and the combination of these exercises also
produces greater overall balance.
3. The mental test
Trail riding sharpens the mind, as well, since the rider must
always be engaged with the horse and continually problem-
solving to navigate the landscape. This kind of focus can further
reduce stress and anxiety, as it allows the rider to shut out other
worries or concerns.
