For any of my wonderful equine clients who may be interested in learning more about pole work. Soo so many benefits for your horses neuromuscular system, plus it will be a fun day out too 🌟
💜🐴Equine Pole Workshop🐴💜
🗓️Saturday June 29th 🗓️
🌍At LGS with Trudi Dempsey: Equine Trainer and Behaviour Consultant🌍
🐎This is a full theory & practical day looking at how pole work can support the ridden equine along side rehabilitation, strengthening & training 🐎
🙌Trudi: As a gymnastic dressage coach & behaviour consultant Trudi uses poles in a wide range of situations. Pole work supports balance, proprioception, coordination & flexibility but there is an often missed extra when pole work is trained with behaviour in mind.😳
🐎Introduced carefully & systematically, pole work training creates confidence & trust in the handler/rider.🙏
🐴Trudi promotes the idea of horses learning to be responsible for their own balance without the need for any rope or rein pressure.🥰
🐎During the workshop we will look at:
🐴Basic learning theory for rein/rope handling skills
🐴How to position yourself to support your horse when working on the ground
🐴Simple exercises for balance
🐴Introducing bend & flexion
🐴Poles in series to benefit rhythm & regularity
🐴Proprioception exercises
🐴Pole box exercises in preparation for lateral work
🙌From a Therapist eye we will:
🙌Look at In-hand exercises for developing proprioception & straightness.
🙌Long reining for core strength & improved flexibility.
🙌Ridden exercises to develop core strength & flexibility, given in walk to enable the equine therapist to provide onsite help, plus recommendations for faster paces as after care strengthening.
🙌We will specifically target muscle groups according to the needs of the horse, along with general core strengthening & postural correctness of the horse.
🙌The aim is to build balance, stability, enhance flexibility & coordination in the ridden equine as part of their education process. This is also valuable for re-educating post injury or for fitness training.
👉This course is for anyone interested in rehabilitation & training in the ridden equine🐎
£60 per rider/horse (spaces are limited)
£100 per person
