JOIN US ON THE PATHWAY TO ALIGNMENT VIDEO SERIES
to embark on a learning journey of functional biomechanics using consent based training techniques?
Explore the fundamental principles of equine biomechanics and the significance of maintaining vertical balance in horses. Through vivid analogies and real-life examples, we illuminate how postural imbalances can affect the horse's spinal column and joints, leading to discomfort and potential injury.
From the pelvis to the feet, we explore how deviations in posture can arise from factors such as rider positioning, strength, or structural issues. Discover practical strategies for identifying and correcting these imbalances, ensuring your horse achieves better balance, stability, and overall well-being.
Embark on a journey of communication and connection with your horse. Learn the In-Hand foundational exercises, including the first position, to develop spatial awareness, observe your horse's movements, and establish alignment and balance. Always with the consent and willingness of your horse.
"Belinda has this way of imparting her knowledge of anatomy to explain simply what she sees and how to correct it. With detailed instructions to follow to improve the health and your connection with your horse. "

Video 1: Introduction to Healthy Function
Create the possibilities of developing your horse's true potential. In this first video, "Introduction to Healthy Function," you will learn about the core principles of creating functional movement for long-term health in you horses.
Key components of this training include:
Horizontal and Vertical Balance: Learn how aligning the shoulders and pelvis evenly distributes weight, preventing compression-related issues like kissing spine. Discover the importance of the thoracic sling and pelvic girdle in minimizing shock impact and joint trauma.
The Story of Venturoso: Witness a real-life example of the consequences of misused sling systems. Follow Venturoso's journey from behavioral and soundness issues to recovery through specific rehabilitation exercises.
Video 2: Identifying Postural Imbalance
Understanding your horse's postural balance is crucial for their well-being. In the second video, "Identifying Postural Imbalance," you will learn how to recognize and correct imbalances that can lead to discomfort or injury.
In this video, you'll explore:
The Hanging Basket Analogy: Understand how imbalances affect your horse's spinal column and joints, and learn how to identify deviations such as inward or outward rotation of joints, cow-hocked stance, or pigeon toes.
Manifestations of Postural Imbalance: Dive into the different areas of the horse's body where postural issues can arise and discover effective techniques for addressing them through targeted exercises and rehabilitation.

“I was fortunate to have been instructed in the Art of Academic Riding as a young child.
I was steeped in the tradition of classical horsemanship and the ways of the old Masters are second nature to me.
The knowledge they handed down was so comprehensive that it enabled me to school horses to Prix St George level as a 13 year-old.
It has been my life’s work to pass their gift on to my students, to preserve their traditions and to help today’s horses live their very best life."
Belinda’s online programs are designed with your specific requirements in mind. Belinda takes into account your riding discipline, your medium and long term goals and your current circumstances. This applies equally to beginners and highly accomplished riders.
All programs are built on the solid understanding of functional movement – developing a sound, strong and balanced equine partner.
This is the key to achieving Mastery!
"I learned so much in a short amount of time. Very clear explanation in a friendly and fun learning environment. I am so glad I enrolled in all of her courses. My horses already gave me the thumbs up. No matter what experience level, this course is for all horse owners who love and enjoy their horses."
