- 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

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.

Biomechanics 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:
