EqueFitt Australia Clinic – Raymond Terrace, Newcastle, NSW

EquefittSkeleton1

For anyone interested in working on ridden posture and improving their “body to horse” communication there are two spots still available in the clinic being held at the Raymond Terrace RDA on Saturday March 28.

If a rider is tight or uneven through their body they can influence their horse to move or act differently without realising.

Your horse may be displaying such things as:

– Holding unnecessary tension through his body
– Moving unevenly in one direction
– Finding bend to one direction difficult
– Difficult to slow down
– Difficult to move forward
– Inconsistent into the contact
– Finding canter transitions difficult
– Not striding correctly in walk, trot and canter
– Carrying his hindquarters to one side

There will also be a qualified equine acupuncture therapist who works in with Tanase at the RDA on the day of the clinic for anyone who would like an assessment or treatment done on their horse.

Please contact:
Tanase at eque-fittaus@hotmail.com or
Deb at southern_stars_dressage@hotmail.com

Lessons are $65 and will run for 50 minutes.

Acupuncture sessions are $60.00

Need to improve your fitness and rider skills?

“It still amazes me how the simplest of postural faults (usually not detected by the rider or instructor) can effect everything! Including the horses muscle development, horses bone structure, rider’s effectiveness and quality of training.”
