About this Webinar:
Do you ever struggle with getting your participant in the right position and keeping them there? What exercises and activities are good for posture correction? What do we want to avoid with some posture/positions? What is the impact on the horse and participant if they continue to ride in that position? What if it can’t be corrected? How do you know? We will explore these questions along with others in this webinar designed for instructors and instructors in training to help with their participants in TR or adapted riding classes.
