Notes

A guide to coaches in identifying and correcting asymmetry in riders (and horses).

Steph Bradley, leveraging her expertise as a SMS Master Saddle Fitter, UKCC Level 4 Coach and TESTT Certified Coach, will lead an in-depth examination of rider symmetry, seat and rider contact, focusing on common areas for improvement with the aid of demonstration riders. Beginning with a foundational exploration of basic anatomy and the interplay between humans and horses, Steph will progress to an analysis of saddle interaction, specifically addressing issues such as saddle slip.

A key component of the session will encompass interpersonal communication skills essential for addressing observed issues within the coach's view, while emphasising the importance of professional referral to specialists such as vets, saddle fitters, human physiotherapists, and equine physiotherapists. Transitioning to ridden issues, demonstration riders will be enlisted to showcase practical solutions during this demonstration-based session, without hands-on involvement.

Participants will gain valuable insights into horse anatomy, biomechanics, rider anatomy, biomechanics, and saddle fitting, elucidating their influence on rider symmetry and coaching practices. Additionally, Steph will offer optional individual sessions for hands-on experience, catering to coaches seeking further practical guidance. This comprehensive day promises to enrich participants' coaching repertoire and deepen their understanding of equine biomechanics and rider dynamics.

Opening to all coaches from all disciplines or aspiring coaches.
