The way the rider sits on the horse will have a dramatic effect on its soundness, performance and development. The rider analysis sessions are designed for riders of all levels to help improve the rider's position and horse's way of going. With the use of high speed video cameras (capturing 20 x faster than the human eye), Visualise training jackets and Quintic software the rider's position and horse's way of going can be constructively analysed. Russell, who carries out the analysis, is a keen rider himself and has worked all over the world helping riders improve their position and horse's performance.
You will be asked to carry out a series of movements, such as centre lines from both the left and right rein. We then analyse the high speed video files - the riders can see their efforts immediately whilst mounted - using sophisticated software the rider's position and horse's way of going can be analysed. From here we select key areas on which to work. The session combines the use of training and video analysis, this is one of the key aspects of our sessions as it allows riders to see instantly any improvements. Each session will be individual and last approx 45mins.
