Fluid Transitions Day ClinicAvailable to yards, riding clubs and groups of like-minded equestrians
10-12pm Theory session on 'Fluid Transitions'
This includes a discussion on what we think is a 'perfect transition' and why it's important, what impact it has on the horse and his training and how we can achieve it. It will also include a short body scan, and some practical exercises to understand and explore how we move and influence the horse before during and after a transition. This will prepare students to be more aware of their own bodies, so they can get the most out of the ridden session. 1pm onwards Semi-private sessions with your horse (45min -1hr each) Each student will ride a horse at their own level of ability. They will each develop their own skills on how to feel which is the best way to influence their horse throughout the process of a transition. The will also increase their ability to feel how their own body and breathing helps or hinders the horse before during and after a transition. There will be time for short questions at the end of each session - longer answers will be handled during reflections. This requires a secure area with firm footing and somewhere for participants watch. Finish Reflections (1/2 hour) The day concludes with a half hour reflection on what people have felt/learnt/discovered during the clinic. Also any questions that haven't been explored will be addressed at this point. Finish time will depend on participant numbers. £95 per person minimum 3 people £30 for non-horse participants Large group discounts available |
