Kendra Clarke is a Level 2 Centered Riding instructor, specializing in horse and rider biomechanics.

Kendra has trained with many FEI trainers, most notably Louise Davison of Tamworth, England. There Kendra rode Louise’s many upper level hor

ses, and rode her Grand Prix schoolmaster under the watchful eyes of Conrad Schumacher.

In the United States, Kendra has spent countless hours alongside David Donnelly of French Light Dressage, where he taught her the teachings of Nuno Oliveria and Boucherist schools. There she continues to refine the art of teaching classical French dressage movements to both horses and riders, emphasizing in correct upper level movements. Kendra graduated from Delaware Valley College with an Equine Training degree and spent a semester at Hartpury College (Gloucester, England) where she studied equine biomechanics. She has also earned her Master’s in Business Administration at Delaware Valley University (formerly college). The combination of equine biomechanics and rider biomechanics creates a dynamic training experience.

: Accuracy is free. Big moving horses are expensive, and if you ride a 100% accurate test on a normal mover, and someone else rides a 100% accurate test on a mega mover, you’re probably gonna get beat, and that’s that. But if you ride that same test, and the rider of the mega mover couldn’t find the letter she’s supposed to be riding to for love nor money, there’s your shot at the win. Accuracy is free, and does not require an expensive horse 🐴

A weekend full of learning! has been a regular part of our team working with the horses monthly. Today she showed the horse owners how can be a beneficial tool and the horses all loved it! These pads are a wonderful asset to the horses and now our horse owners are confident to put them to good use, just in time for colder weather when riding motivation may dwindle. The horses can still have bodywork in the comfort of their warm blankets! A huge thank you to Leslie!

In horses, poles placed on the ground or raised above the ground are advocated as part of training and conditioning programme to improve joint range of motion, develop core strength and activate/strengthen back muscles.

Pole work exercises are commonly used in equine training/rehabilitation programmes to build core strength and improve limb flexion. Ground/raised poles are thought to be beneficial for:

🐴Training proprioceptive skills
🐴 Improving/restoring joint range of motion
🐴Strengthening propulsive muscles
🐴Providing variety within training programmes

This 2-hour webinar will review the literature and present new research related to the use and application of ground and raised poles when walking and trotting.

To be the best load to carry, riders must consistently improve upon and be responsible for their own force absorption. In equestrian sport, this means moving in a balanced way, free from excess tension and rigidity, allowing the rider to harmonize with the horse’s movement.

Force absorption refers to the rider’s ability to manage and dissipate the forces created by the horse’s motion, as well as the impact of their own body weight and movement. Instead of resisting or bracing against these forces, riders should absorb them through the ankles, knees, pelvis, and spine. This capacity for smooth force management allows the rider to remain balanced and responsive to the horse, reducing unnecessary strain on both their body and the horse’s.

🐴 DRESSAGE SOLUTIONS:🐴 To help you maintain a low hand and closed elbow …

Imagine you're taking a toddler on her first ride and she's sitting on your lap in the saddle. Through all of your movements and transitions, those low-together
hands and tucked-in elbows act like a seatbelt for the little one to enjoy her first ride safely.
