Rider Assessment
Postural Assessment
During my years of studying and riding, I have developed a deep understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics and how the interaction between the horse and rider is critical for performance. The 'ideal' symmetrical posture is near impossible and unrealistic to achieve during our day to day lives, let alone when we are in the saddle!
Adaptations occur naturally through our body, this can be due to muscle tightness, weakness, injuries or postural asymmetries. In addition to this, the horse is also likely to have their areas of concern which may have developed over time in response to their rider, saddle and bridle fit, or just from their structural restrictions or historical injuries. Therefore, being able to assess the rider in the saddle and out of the saddle can give a great insight into the specific areas that may be causing issues and impacting the horse's performance.
​
With the ability to assess both the horse and rider and treat the areas of concern for both, it can have a significant benefit to the ridden partnership and ultimately help both to improve and achieve their goals together.
Equine Experiences
I offer rider assessments as part of the Equine Experience Camps, as well in clinics and on a private 1:1 basis.
​
Equine Experience camps are run by Janet Wilson at the fabulous Forest Edge Arena in Norfolk. The camps range from 1 to 3 day stays where they have a great selection of highly regarded and experienced coaches in to provide the horse and rider the optimum environment to develop and progress, being able to cater for all levels and disciplines .
​
Providing rider assessments at these camps alongside the expertise of the coaches, enables the riders to truly focus on improving their position in the saddle and leave with key take home points that they can then work on with their own coaches and manual therapists.
