Webinar: How does rider balance affect horses’ way of going

For this webinar we were joined by Dr Russell MacKechnie-Guire who has a wealth of experience in this area. Russell shows us how a horse’s movement changes in response to rider balance, how we can tell if we are unbalanced, and what we can do about it.
Russell has extensive research experience in equine biomechanics, the horse-saddle-rider interaction, and the effects of rider asymmetry on equine back movement - all of which are relevant to this webinar.
Following his presentation, Russell was joined for a panel discussion by Richard Davison, a four-time Olympian and European medallist who has been at the forefront of the international equestrian world for almost four decades, and Tony Tyler, World Horse Welfare's Deputy Chief Executive and Director of UK, who has been involved in in the horse industry for more than 35 years and who has extensive experience of training riders and horses.
Among other topics, the discussion covered what the most common rider faults are, whether suboptimal rider balance leads to over-reliance on artificial aids, and how riders can improve their position without spending a lot of money. The panel discussion was followed by a Q & A session in which our Zoom audience had the chance to ‘ask the experts’ any questions.
Russell MacKechnie-Guire, Richard Davison, and Tony Tyler discuss how rider balance affects horses’ way of going.

I'm disappointed your subscriber numbers aren't higher.
I've been following for years.
Your website doesn't reference your vlog nor does it provide links to current content or webinar you work so hard to create.
I hope management considers. Not everyone uses Facebook to see any content here.
Thanks for sharing this informative webinar.
Core balance is a must for riders and communication with the horse.
I enjoyed the content and learned.
