Rider Biomechanics
Improving the Horse Rider's Seat, Posture & Balance
Sports biomechanics is the specialist field that
looks at how athletes move, lift, carry, push &
pull. They look at balance & movement and through
testing, predict and improve sports performance.
Equine biomechanics analyses the horse's movement
and footfall.
Spinal posture & movement and the way they track
up.
Rider biomechanics looks at every part of the horse
rider's balance, seat, posture & movement and how it
affects the horse.
For the beginner - it might be help just staying
on! For the Olympic level professional, it might
mean fine tuning every single movement & improving
balance, co-ordination and fluidity of movement
during the highest level movements, complicated
turns & jumps.
Rider Biomechanics looks at the rider's legs, the
placement of the foot in the stirrup, how we sit,
how we look, how our balance affects the horse. We
can tell you why the horse feels better on one rein
than the other. Why your horse falls in, cuts
corners and falls on the forehand, and by simple
rider adjustments improve the horse's performance.
