One day unmounted clinic

            This one-day clinic is designed to give the most amount of riders the basics of the proper motor function (correct use of the body) while riding.  Riders receive a power point presentation covering basic anatomy and physiology, movement, and posture as they relate to riding performance and injury prevention.  All riders are able to participate in small group, hands on/applied sessions.  During these sessions riders will be able to practice proper motor function and correct biomechanics as related to riding tasks.  Each hands on/applied session lasts approximately 1- 1.5 hours.

This course can be taken by up to 20 riders.                                                             $750.00

Two day clinic

            Two full days of participation in unmounted and mounted activities to decrease compensation patterns (bad habits) and establish correct and efficient motor patterns to maximize performance and decrease pain.  Riders will begin to truly understand the motor function behind the phrases and concepts expressed all too often but whose application/realization remain elusive.  This course will help riders flatten out some of the steepest learning curves.

All riders receive exercises booklets as well as exercise equipment for continuation of skills and exercises learned in clinic.

This course is designed for 4 – 8 riders                                                     $425.00 per rider

Three day clinic

            Three full days of participation by all riders.  The first day is completely unmounted.  The second day consists of unmounted and mounted sessions.  The third day is continuous rotation of riders in mounted activities.  At the end of the third day horses are never fatigued, riders are.  The topics are similar to the two-day clinic but the three-day format allows riders more practice and assistance to ensure acquisition of new motor patterns for efficient and effective riding.

All riders receive exercises booklets as well as exercise equipment for continuation of skills and exercises learned in clinic.

This course is designed for 4 – 8 riders                                                     $475.00 per rider

Individual Evaluation

            This is designed for riders who wish to have a customized program designed for their specific needs in a private atmosphere. 

Evaluation includes obtaining subjective information obtained from statements by rider and trainer if applicable and an objective evaluation of the rider, measuring flexibility, strength and motor function as it pertains to riding.  An assessment is made and plan of treatment is formulated to solve the rider’s difficulties.  This plan is printed in booklet form.  During the two follow up appointments the rider will review, discuss and practice the plan of treatment printed in the booklet. 

The two follow up appointments, booklet and exercise equipment needed to complete plan of treatment are included as part of the individual evaluation.
