About this video

US Grand Prix dressage rider and biomechanics trainer Suzie Peacock helps Sally Goodwin-Davies improve her position on the Advanced horse Jeremy. Suzie tells Sally (who suffers knee and hip problems) that her left side is 'bossy' and pulls her off centre. Suzie says 'tractioning' the spine creates proper alignment and space between the vertebrae, which gives more mobility. "Our job is to make it easiest for the horse to do what we want him to do" and we need to be more body aware to achieve this. Suzie explains the correct motion of the pelvis to mirror the horse's movement, and bring horse and rider into harmony!

susie 15 Apr 2011 Thank you for all of the positive feedback. Riders with tight psoas really need to have strong lower abs to have body symmetry.Use non riding time to improve your weaknesses. While riding use breathing exercises that allow the muscles to relax in motion. My suggestion is to take extra time when warming up by riding an active walk;letting the horse's motion manipulate the riders hips while breathing. Have a plan when going riding so that you can focus on the details. Suzie Peacock
