Calories burnt in dressage training?

[ahlam1399]

Hi all, Last night I had a fantastic dressage lesson - it lasted just under an hour and a half (including the whole group mounting & dismounting etc.) and most of it was done either in sitting trot or without stirrups (in both trot and canter). We had a great time working on suppleness, leg yielding, half-pass and counter-bend etc! I've recently got an apple watch and rode with it on for the first time and in total I burned 945 calories (795 as a direct result of the exercise) with an average HR of 145bpm! Does this seem a bit far fetched or does the combination of the sitting trot or lack of stirrups and riding a strong horse who needs a ***** ton of leg to get him moving, and then a lot of work from the riders core to keep him from running away with you and/or keeping him off the forehand when he does get going mean I just worked really hard? I'm over here hoping that my numbers are right but I've got a hunch that they're not!
