I am a UKCC Level 2 Coach and Equine Sports Massage Therapist. I am able to offer a holistic approach, being qualified to assess both rider and horse and ensure a harmonious, happy and healthy partnership.
A great day of training yesterday for the LINDSAY WILCOX-REID BIOMECHANICS IN BALANCE CLINIC with EquiPilates Fascinating to watch everyone, looking at how small adjustments to our position and delivery of the aids can have a big impact in our horses. The sun even made an appearance!
Lovely day teaching a rider biomechanics clinic. We had 4 seasons in one day, but saw some fab improvements 😁 My last pony was the absolutely gorgeous reacue pony May, who had the saddest back story being found with 30 other abandoned ponies. Only May and one other pony were still alive. She is an absolute credit to her owners 🥹
Busy rider biomechanics day in the sunshine 🌞
It's important to be as one with your horse 🤣 post your favorite horsey selfie to be in with the chance of winning an Equipilates Rider Biomechanic Session (mounted or unmounted)
Love a transformation picture! First competition after his ks rehab 3 years ago to his most recent competition. A bit more uphill!
Fab day teaching a polework clinic at Galley Common Stables today. Thanks for inviting me 🐴🐎
Polework! Don't get pole pattern envy! A simple line of a few poles is just as effective 👌
Sharing this photo in memory of the gorgeous Tommy who sadly crossed rainbow bridge this week. I have helped Ruth and Tommy over the last few years and as a pair they never failed to bring a smile to my face. In my 30 pus years of teaching, I have never met a partnership like them. They represented everything positive that our sport is about. I feel honoured to have been part of their journey and I really hope Tommy was giving Mushroom some tips on being awesome in this photo.
Lovely day in the sunshine 🌞 first riding lovely George while his mum is on holiday followed by a Rider Biomechanics Clinic at home.
I've loved hearing about how your horses help you through the tough times. They really are all amazing! It was a tough decision choosing just one, but Bexy D**e is the lucky winner 🏆
GIVEAWAY TIME. It's World Mental Health Day. I know that my horses are really important to my mental health (although at times they test it!). Pop a photo and a couple of lines about how your horse helps with your mental wellbeing. The winner can choose between a mounted or unmounted session

Busy but great day today. Dressage judging, rider alignment sessions and coaching. Lovely to see people enjoying their lovely horses and seeing some great improvements from equine physio referred horses and riders. Both of my boys were fab too ...although 7am seems a long time ago now. All topped off with some gorgeous roses 🌹
Some in hand work for the boys tonight using the Equitation Science and clicker training techniques we learned on our EquiPilates Biomechanics in Balance Camp. The more you know, the more you realise how much you still have to learn!
A great day on the first of the autumn EquiPilates rider alignment clinics. Due to the heat we rescheduled the mounted sessions but we were nice and cool in the barn. Everyone went away with some homework! The next session is on 14th October
All set up for the first of the autumn rider alignment clinics tomorrow. Although it's not very autumnal 🥵🥵🥵
A really easy to understand video on the effect of posture on movement.
Early morning teaching in the sunshine 🌞 using a theraband to improve proprioception and help to lift the shoulders (as shown in the before and after photo). If you look closely, you can see how much he is recruiting his abs in the bottom photo. This little horse is in his mid twenties and is an absolute legend!
Now we are fast approaching autumn (sorry 🍂), I'm going to be publishing dates for some regular unmounted workshops, private and small groups from my base in Meriden. If there is anything you would like including please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate you. Due to more space on the yard, I can also combine a mounted session followed by a personalised unmounted session, with a comfy stable for your horse 🐎
Great day today running a biomechanics clinic at Galley Farm Stables Lovely to work with a variety of lovely horses and riders
A lovely morning running a rider alignment session for a group of young riders at Weston Lawns BS Academy training. Mushy and I were then treated to the hares playing while we were riding 🥰
Looking forward to being able to host some small overnight and day camps this summer. In addition to rider biomechanics, what else would you like to see?
Super proud of this pair 🥰
**THURSDAY RESEARCH MEME**
Todays research meme features some of our rider based research. In this study we looked at a group of riders, all of which were right handed. Despite the perception of sitting equally, there was increased weight on the left seat bone. How does this translate to when riding (paper on the way)? Whilst we may have a perception of sitting equally, maybe we have a preference to weight one side more than the other. This reinforces the importance of working with riders “off-horse” to improve their proprioception, awareness and symmetry…. which can then be transferred to when riding. 🤓

What an amazing difference in these before and after photos at our Mechanical Horse Session equipilates for RoR Midlands
We've talked about this alot today in our mechanical horse sessions
Today we stayed nice and dry thanks to sessions on Blueberry the mechanical horse at Naylors ( Go Outdoors) for RoR Midlands members. It was really useful to be able to see the improvements in 'real time' thanks to the pressure mapping reports. Everyone was sent away with some homework. It was great to work with riders who realise how important it is to work on themselves as well as their horses.
