- The Next level: Learning About Biomechanics by Kimberly Cruser.
For those of us on the continuing search for improvements to our
riding skills, the USDF University accredited lecture for members
of the Ventura and Pomona CDS chapters in Dec 2000, was a great opportunity
to learn more about the biomechanics of the human body and the muscle
control and tone needed to ride well. Article submitted to USDF

Ask
The Expert
Stephen M. Apatow
"I am a middle-aged rider who has
come back to riding after about 15 years. I have an 8-year-old
Thoroughbred cross gelding that I work at First Level, hoping to
do some showing eventually. I find I am not as flexible as I used
to be and have recently heard about "biomechanics" and how it
might help me. I'm not sure what is meant by the term as it refers
to riding horses. Can you explain what it is and why it is important
to dressage riders like me?"

Development Clinics
& Private Consultations
The science of classical ballet training,
as used in Eastern Bloc development programs for gymnastics and
figure skating, is the reference point for the optimization of fundamental
movement mechanics and the precision execution classical dressage
technique. Inconjuction with a lecture presentation, individual consultations
cover the rider specific mechanics of a connected
seat, posting, halt/half halt, turn mechanics, spiral seat and lateral
movements.

Applications
.
In 1994, after learning about the application of the procedure
in a cervical entrapment neurapathy case on the wife of a physician
at Yale Medical School, a veterinarian in Northern Nevada requested
our help with a spinal condition involving a 12 year old basset hound.
The sucess of this case in a quadruped application opened the door
for work on hundreds of sporthorses in dressage, hunter-jumper and
western training programs. For additional information, visit the:
