Pilates for Equestrians Instructor Guide, 54 Exercises, PDF (Digital Download)

Seller's description

Her riding coach says she rides in a chair seat, collapses her left hip and grips with her knees. Then she books a private with you, and there is no horse and no saddle in your studio, and your faults references are written in studio words. This guide translates. Find the coach's phrase and it tells you what you can see of it off the horse, the check you run by eye, the exercises that work on it, and a bridge cue that carries the work back to the saddle.

A 75-page illustrated reference for qualified Pilates teachers. Mat, reformer, chair and tower, for riders of every discipline: dressage, show jumping, eventing, hacking and riding club, and Pony Club age riders.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✔ The Seat Translator: 19 faults in the coach's own words (chair seat, fork seat, hollow back, collapsing a hip, heels up, gripping knees, a swinging lower leg, busy hands, bouncing in sitting trot, tipping forward in two-point and more), each with what the coach sees in the saddle, what you see on the mat, what may feed it, the exercises that work on it and a bridge cue
✔ The Exercise Index: 54 mat, reformer, chair and tower exercises, each with the fault it answers, what a rider tends to do in it, the one thing to watch, the one change, a bridge cue, why, and a relative spring
✔ The Off-Horse Checks: 8 checks you read by eye, with the long box as her saddle, run in the first session and again at six weeks
✔ Route-outs: 12 signs after a fall, at the back, the hip and the arm, and for young riders, each with what to do now and who it goes to
✔ The Discipline and Season Dial: what dressage, jumping, eventing, hacking and young riders ask of her body, and what her year does to the session
✔ 18 situations in the rider's room: the coach's notes, the rider who fell last week, boots in the studio, the riding club block
✔ 10 sessions, from the first private to the riding club mat class and the young riders class
✔ 21 line drawings of a rider in the positions the entries teach, including Horseback astride the long box and on the chair, and 8 diagrams (the saddle and the studio, the ear to heel line, the three seats, a collapsed side, the long box as saddle, two-point, the route-out sites, the discipline dial), plus a sources list

DISCLAIMER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For qualified Pilates teachers. This guide does not diagnose and is not medical advice. Every sign that routes out goes to the rider's doctor, physiotherapist or emergency services as the entry says, and for a rider under 18 to the parent that day. Riding instruction, tack and saddle fit belong to her riding coach and saddle fitter. Nothing in this guide promises a change in the saddle or in the horse.
