Lateral Work Demystified 1
Available to yards, riding clubs and groups of like-minded equestrians
10-12pm Theory session on 'Lateral Work Demystified'
This includes a discussion on what is lateral work, why these particular exercises are important, what impact they have on the horse and
their training and how we can achieve them. It will also include a body scan, and some practical exercises to understand and explore
how we move and influence the horse when riding various the lateral movements. This will enable 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, choosing a particular lateral movement they wish to improve.
Students will develop their skill level to prepare, carry out and move out of the lateral exercise. Students will use their better
understanding of their body dynamics and awareness to improve how they interact with the horse throughout the movement.
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
