Polework for Balance Clinic

Friday 8th November

With

Christine Shubrook BS Accredited Coach.

This session will work on exercises using poles, mainly in trot and some canter over single poles, to improve horse & rider balance.
There will be a focus on gaining the skills needed as the basis for jumping a course of fences - rhythm, correct bend, straightness and energy. Skills that are as useful out hacking as they are in the ring.

Work over poles has been proven to increase the stability in the horses back and increase the range of movement in the lower joints of the horse
For riders, the poles give you a target to ride to and this tests your accuracy for riding down the centre line, riding a line to a fence or avoiding a bad bit of ground out hacking.
The extra elevation of the horse's movement will be a challenge to the riders balance, which in turn will work your core muscles and improve your stability. Having our balance and feeling stable leads to rider confidence.

Maximum 3 in the group.
30 minute 1-2-1 sessions are available, which is a better option for horse's first trip out or those that are excitable in a group.
Don't forget we have an indoor school so the weather and light aren't a problem, and neither is the sun!.
