Every individual rider is completely unique in their physical presence. None of us a carbon copy of another. Thus we need to find exercises that can adjust to each individual when we are trying to help them find their perfect seat.

Looking at recent research on the prevalence of rib injuries in foals the long term problems associated with those problems and why do we see some of these same problems in mature horses.

Sometimes we surprise ourselves when we find out what our true motivation is when we work with our horses.
