Rider Awareness Experience Week
4th - 8th January, Harper Stud, Kaukapakapa
Everyone wants to be a better rider so why not spend a week learning all about YOU. This week aims to give you insights into how your riding influences your horse. We look at the effects of rider posture, balance, weight distribution and focus on your horse and give you the body awareness to begin to do less to achieve more. Mornings are spent covering:
-
Body awareness simulations
-
Theory sessions
-
DNS breathwork session
-
Understanding how your horse moves and why some things are difficult
-
Rider makeovers
-
Seat awareness exercises
Afternoons are your own time to practice, chill out or have private lessons.
Cost $890
Your horse needs to be able to be ridden in a group with no major behaviour problems.
