Rider services
Riders often neglect their own rehabilitation and prioritise the health of their horse, which may ultimately limit performance potential. On and off-horse physiotherapy assessments are available and can help identify key areas for improvement. Joint sessions with a coach may identify performance weaknesses and help facilitate a SMART goal setting approach to optimise rider effectiveness.
