Biomechanics of the Horse and Rider
with Mitzi Summers
Regardless of the riding style or discipline, many riders feel that no matter how hard they try, they are missing something. Biomechanics puts the rider back in touch with their innate sense of being with the horse. The techniques of biomechanics are not so much about rein and leg as about re-discovering the body’s own wisdom in relationship to the horse’s movement. Once liberated, a rider usually finds their chosen riding style becomes fluid, easy, and much more enjoyable.
