Description

Classical Horsemanship clinic!

Kassie is a coach in both equine and rider biomechanics. Kassie follows classical principles that address both the rider and horse to ensure soundness and correct biomechanics and function of the horse. In her one on one coaching sessions, riders will work through understanding the balance and precision of the seat and how the horse moves beneath the rider. Exercises will be prescribed and worked through to improve the horse’s musculoskeletal imbalances and restrictions with the movement therapy, aiming at correcting spinal alignment in lateral motion. Lateral exercises are discussed as to how they work and why they are important in developing the horse’s strength, coordination, suppleness and soundness and how to make them correctly so that they are improving the horses body and mind.
Riders can also explore the art form of in hand work which is another wonderful tool and skill that can help both a rider and horse develop an understanding of the exercises while giving the horse a chance to discover balance without a rider above. In hand also offers the handler the skill of training the eye to see what is correct and what is not and how and when to make the subtle corrections to help the horse maintain balance and alignment. Horses that are often highly strung or ‘hot’ benefit greatly from in hand work.
Clinics are suitable for all horse and rider levels, all breeds and all disciplines. Green and young horses welcome.

Join us and fully immerse yourself in 2 days of classical dressage, biomechanics and academic teachings where science and a holistic education come together to offer you and your horse an incredible journey that will transform your relationship with your horse. Develop the partnership you have always wanted with your horse.
Kassie presents clear and quality coaching which engages and connects with students. You can achieve your goals with sound healthy horses, in both the body and mind. Kassie invites all levels of riders from entry level through to the highest levels of riders. From trail riding through to professional riding Kassie welcomes all horses from all breeds and disciplines.
