Strong Stable Seat Clinics are brilliant at assessing every riders strength and flexibility, then tailoring exercises to address areas of weakness. Mel clearly explains the ‘why’ and ‘how’ muscles work when in motion on a horse. She also spends time with riders on their horse, making adjustments to stirrup length and seat, leg and upper body placement and the changes create amazing results. The clinic provides attendees with take home resources and literature to set up their own at home exercise program, both on and off the horse.
Highly recommend every equestrian attend one of Mel’s workshops at least once in their life, if not at least once a year.
