Conference 2008 Workshop

M1-In the Saddle: The Connection of the Seat, Leg and Heel

Presenter: Pamela Beets

Event Type: Conference 2008 Workshop

Date: July 28, 2008

Time(s):
10am-12:30pm

Cost: $55

Riding is a dynamic process of action.....balance....stillness.  More than technique or a set of rules, the art and language of riding is a dynamic, continuous interaction between rider and horse. Equestrians will experience and explore their balance, postural dynamics and body mechanics with Feldenkrais movement lessons. Through demonstrations using dressage and western saddles, unmounted riders will have the opportunity to take the lessons from internal learning to actual experience in the saddle.

This workshop is applicable to equestrians of any discipline or ability level.
