Equestrian Sports Performance Specialist
Two key quotes which, sticks in my mind are:
'A horse can feel a fly land on it's skin, therefore the rider can have a huge affect on a horses way of going with our position.'
'Don't change one thing by 100%, change 100 things by 1%'
This is a great mantra for Equestrians when aiming for that extra 5 or 10% in a Dressage test, progressing from unaffiliated Show jumping to affiliated or from riding in the school to hacking out alone. What ever level or discipline you are at or interested in. Most riders will agree that we always want to do our best, I'd like to help you get there with my knowledge of human anatomy and biomechanics and equestrian background. Please look at my Equestrian Services page for more details on:
* Mounted Rider Biomechanical Assessments at your yard
* Un-mounted Rider Biomechanical Assessments in clinic
