The gals at Carousel had a blast learning Working Equitation with the fabulous Kerry Marit yesterday! Both the horses and riders loved playing with obstacles & even rode through a full Working Equitation pattern.

We had the privilege of having Keira and Emily from Equus Physio out to Carousel Stables today to do a clinic for the riders .

I strongly suggest doing a clinic with these gals . Helped all riders learn about keeping their pelvis in neutral - breathing correctly- using the necessary / correct riding muscles and learning which muscles were interfering . Every rider made huge changes and the feed back from their own muscles was perfect.

Unmounted assessments done before and then mounted sessions with and without resistance bands . Really assisted me as their coach so I can help by giving correct cue words .

It never is the obvious (like a rotated out leg) - that is usually the symptom and the problem is being caused by another area.

Highly recommend this for all disciplines of riding .

Thanks again Equus Physio , Keira and Emily.
