Equest Connect Clinic - Rider Feel

So often we hear people say that a particular rider has amazing “feel”. What does this mean and why do some riders appear to have an increased ability to feel what their horse is doing underneath them? What should we be able to feel and why can this be so difficult  in some cases?

In this Rider Feel Clinic you will learn about the various aspects of feel, what can affect our ability to feel and how we  can develop and improve this, particularly in areas where you may not be currently so in-tune. 

We begin with a really fun unmounted session where various exercises and discussion will increase your awareness of just what it can be possible to feel when you are riding. Then we move on to some in-hand work with your own horses to expand on some of what was learnt in unmounted session and in preparation for the final ridden session. This clinic is a real eye-opener and will have a lasting impression on the way you progress from this point forwards in your training. 

This is a optional clinic in the Equest Connect Program and is open to riders who have participated in the Rider Aware clinic. More information is available at  Equest Connect – Victoria Hamilton Equestrian
