With the usual calendar of events in the equestrian world not going ahead due to the current restrictions, Caithness Riding Club is organising a virtual online event.
Open to all, the webinar will be hosted by sports scientist Dr Russell MacKechnie-Guire of Centaur Biomechanics, who presents his research all over the world, will take place on Thursday, March 11 at 7.30pm.
His virtual events are proving very popular across the globe at the moment with many signing up to hear his objectives of improving equine health, reducing the risk of injury and improving performance, as well as helping the rider to become more effective and improve their performance.
“All of our events are focused on providing attendees with useful information which they can implement within their own training and
management plans to help improve horse and rider performance and ultimately improving equine health,” said Dr Russell MacKechnie-Guire.
The webinar - Improving Horse and Rider Performance - includes:
• Effect that saddle fit and design has on horse and rider performance
• Effect that saddle design has on the rider – position and performance
• Managing a saddle which slips to one side – factors to consider
• Rider asymmetry – how to manage and improve
It is guaranteed to prove very interesting to all that attend and all you need to take part is Wi-Fi. Those interested should sign in on the club's online Entrymaster system - the event is free to members.
On the week of the virtual event participants will receive a link and on the evening all you need to do is click on it and register your
name/details.
These virtual events are live and interactive, once in the webinar, members who are using a laptop or desktop can ask questions with the
question and answer feature. If members do not have a laptop/desktop, they can use their smartphone to access the webinar but some of the interactive features maybe reduced depending on the smartphone being used.
The virtual event provides a fully interactive presentation which lasts 45 minutes plus the question and answer session, and includes some published research in horse, saddle and rider interaction.
