Cheshire/ North Wales

         Saturday 1st October 2011

Please see below for venue and contact information

Topics covered during the clinic:
  • The anatomy and biomechanics of the horse
  • Observing the horses’ current posture and muscle development
  • Discussing the way that specific saddle design features can help or hinder the horses
  • Assessing the design and fit of saddles brought to the clinic
  • A comparison of the horses’ movement and reactions in their own saddles, and then in a selection of other saddles
  • Remedial saddle-fitting
  • Q&A Session

Lavinia will also be available for individual horse & rider assessments on Sunday 2nd October

By sharing the information and experience that Lavinia has gained over the years, she will help you reach a better understanding of saddle design and fitting.  Whilst saddles alone cannot be expected to solve all equine and rider problems, they can have a huge impact on your horse; from unsoundness and poor performance, behavioural and emotional problems, to general ill health.

The combination of the saddle design features, and the approach to fitting that Lavinia uses, are designed to maximise the horse’s comfort, efficiency and biomechanical “correctness”.

If you would like to bring your horse along for a fitting please contact me as soon as possible as these places will be limited.

Spectators are welcome. Refreshments will be available.
