ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A SADDLE FITTING CLINIC BY LAVINIA MITCHELL FOR YOU AND YOUR HORSE?

If you are please contact direct on 01672539033 or 07973742226.  Lavinia recently held a clinic at Ridgewood and will be coming back later in the year.

Topics covered during the consultation:

·         The anatomy and biomechanics of the horse

·         Observing your horse’s current posture and muscle development

·         Discussing the way that specific saddle design features can help or hinder your horse

·         Discussing the way that specific saddle design features can help or hinder your riding, too

·         Assessing your current saddle’s design and fit

·         A comparison of your horse’s movement in its own saddle, and then in a selection of other saddles

Using feedback provided by the “feel” of your horse when ridden, any changes in behaviour and reactions, plus observations of your horse’s movement from the ground, you will find that we can assess which saddle would be the most appropriate choice for you and your horse.
