Are you aware of your own riding weaknesses and asymmetries but not sure how to address them? Come and join our Equistable™ Rider Balance Clinic which focuses on the rider’s position and posture as well as improving core engagement. Learn how to create a more balanced seat and a better connection with your horse.

A rider’s altered biomechanics can cause performance issues in their horse whether you are a happy hacker or aiming to be the next Charlotte Dujardin. Positional problems are hugely frustrating for rider, trainer and horse. Megan is a Chartered Physiotherapist, Equipilates™ Biomechanics Trainer, and has completed Testt (Thomas Equestrian Symmetry Types and Tests) training with world renowned Andy Thomas of Event Physio. She can provide an insight into why you adopt a certain position and provide exercises to help you biomechanically more effective.

This session is aimed at assessing your position on your horse and using a variety of techniques to improve your symmetry, suppleness or strength. We use Visualise jackets, spiky balls and resistance bands to enable you to see and feel a more correct, balanced seat.

These sessions are designed to help focus the rider’s energy and awareness onto themselves, they will heighten sensory awareness and help connect the brain to the body.

During each 1 hour GROUP (MAX 4) session you will receive:
• Step by step instruction from Megan Rees, a Chartered Physiotherapist, Equipilates™ Biomechanics Trainer and Equine Veterinary Physiotherapist to improve your position, balance and alignment.
• Easy and fun exercises to incorporate into your training
• Principles that will improve your seat and effectiveness of aids
