Susan Harris and Peggy Brown demonstrate how the human skeleton is put together and how it performs in harmony with the horse. Wearing a special "bone suit" Peggy shows how a rider's anatomy works in both English and Western riding. Because the rider is "transparent" you can observe how human anatomy and movement affects and is interpreted by the horse, and how balance and straightness are dynamic, ever-changing states. "The Visible Rider" works at all gaits showing a balanced, following seat. Peggy also displays common riding faults while Susan explains why they occur, and how they affect the horse and rider.
Seeing is believing and you may recognise some of your own riding habits and learn how to improve them.
