3 day CPD Saddle Fitting & 'Pre'habilitation/Rehabilitation of the
horse's back. Jochen's presentation forms his mandatory pre-requisite 2
day introduction to the 5 day Ergonomics course.
Formulated for equine therapists, vets and veterinary nurses. Students of manual therapy, saddle fitters and other equine paraprofessionals are of course most welcome.
Cost is £325 for all three days - this link is for the deposit of £75 - balance of £250 to be paid at the beginning of the first day of the course in cash. Includes course materials, complimentary DVDs, refreshments and lunch.
Jochen Schleese is a certified Master Saddler and Saddle Ergonomist and Caroline Lindsay is a qualified RAMP registered Veterinary Physiotherapist and Master Saddle Fitting Consultant (MSFC).
Unique 3 day presentation. World renowned saddle fitter and Certified Master Saddler Jochen Schleese, author of Suffering In Silence: The Saddle Fit Link to Physical and Psychological Trauma in Horses, will join forces with veterinary physiotherapist, Caroline Lindsay, for a very special presentation aimed at equine therapists that will focus on a ‘welfare fit’ of horse, rider and saddle combination.
Jochen will be taking us to a higher level of understanding in saddle fit than is currently readily available to equine therapists. His saddle fitting concepts will cover functional anatomy of both horse and rider, saddle design, static and dynamic fit and what we need to look for when we carry out a saddle fit assessment, to incorporate consideration of biomechanics and physiology.
Caroline Lindsay will be covering when not to fit a saddle, in terms of how we can recognise when a horse needs ‘pre’habilitation, as well as rehabilitation, in preparation for riding. Practical static core strengthening exercises and simple yet highly effective spinal mobilisations will be demonstrated, together with some simple tests to evaluate the horse’s back strength. Exercise prescription focusing on the back will be covered together with how we can help riders to develop a more stable position.
Both sessions will be a mix of classroom and practical and you will be introduced to some deeply thought provoking concepts as well as frank and open discussions relating to saddle fitting for performance and the all too frequent lack of it and what we as therapists can do about it.
A very special bonus for attendees is that Jochen’s phase will represent the pre-requisite 2 day course, at this very special price, which is a mandatory part of continuing with the Equine Ergonomist 5 day certification course, for those who wish to advance their knowledge further with Jochen after the introductory presentation.
