Horse-Saddle-Rider Interactions

PRESENTER: Russell MacKechnie-Guire
Description

In this video, the focus is on the profound effect the rider has on the horse, thus beginning the assessment with the rider’s balance. The demonstration involves simple exercises, such as single-leg standing, to observe posture and any immediate compensatory “cheat strategies” the rider employs. The presenter highlights the importance of identifying these subconscious deviations in a rider’s physical strategy.
