At Rider’s Position, we believe that the key to a harmonious interaction with your horse depend on your position in the saddle. Every movement you make directly impacts your horse’s performance and welfare.
That’s why we’ve created Rider’s Position Coach, to help you refine your technique and ride in the best possible way for your horse.
How are you moving in the saddle?
To ride in a way that best supports your horse, it’s essential to focus on the following aspects of your position and this is what we measure to be able to give you the best input to improve your seat and position.
- Impact: The force you exert on your horse’s back should be controlled and relaxed. We help you evaluate this impact, ensuring your movements are smooth and gentle and follow the horse’s movements.
- Impact Variation: Consistency in your movements up and down are key. Our app analyzes how even your movements are, helping you minimize unnecessary pressure on your horse.
- Rhythm: Riding at a regular rhythm is crucial for clear communication with your horse. We measure the consistency of your rhythm to enhance your riding effectiveness.
- Stability/Balance: A steady and well-balanced rider moves seamlessly with the horse and can stay in balance when the horse alters between accelerating and decelerating. Our system measures how stable and balanced your movements forward and backwards are, to ensure you’re in harmony with your horse’s movements.
- Stability Variation: Forward and backward movements should be balanced. We assess how even your forward and backward movements are. to help you maintain a stable position that syncs with your horse’s movements.
- Symmetry: It’s important that your position is symmetrical and even and that you don’t lean too much to the right or to the left. We evaluate your symmetry to ensure your horse carries you comfortably and evenly
By focusing on these critical areas, the Rider’s Position Coach app will give you the insights needed to improve your riding technique, fostering a better interaction with your horse, and at the same time promoting the horse’s health and welfare.
