BECOME A BETTER RIDER
Join a class or clinic today and we will fix your problems by improving your functional movement, symmetry, range of movement, balance, strength & endurance, core stability, visual skills, coordination, breathing and cardiovascular fitness.
One to one off horse Biomechanics Assessment (Also available via Zoom)
How well you move off your horse has a direct impact on your performance in the saddle. During this clinic I will assess and advise on:
• Functional movement (how well do you squat? Where does your weight go?)
• Symmetry and Range of Movement (hips and shoulders)
• Balance (if we can’t balance on a flat surface we will struggle on our horse!)
• Strength (is there a weak link?)
• Visual skills (our eyes have a direct impact on our biomechanics)
• Breathing (if we aren’t breathing optimally our body cannot perform at it’s best)

Testimonials
““Highly recommend Lisa Allen . Wednesday night reboot class. After tonight session my back feels so good. Feel like a 21yr old instead of a 59yrs old. Springing along. “I feel good”
“Jessica and I had a fabulous lesson this morning with Lisa. So proud of Jessica who hasn’t jumped in ages and Bonzo who’s getting more confident each time. Thanks Lisa, you’re a great confidence giver.”
“Loved my first Biomechanics riding lesson with Lisa this morning! Couldn’t believe the immediate difference in my mare’s way of going after applying lisa’s carefully suggested tweaks! I just love how Lisa takes the time to explain the ‘how and why’ to make everything easier to understand and therefore implement. I would highly recommend this confidence building & enlightening experience to anyone seeking to improve their communication in the saddle, their results or simply riding posture. Thanks Lisa, will be back soon!”
“I went for an assessment with Lisa and could not recommend her highly enough!! Lisa is very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable and I have noticed significant changes to my riding in a very short period of time. Also very good value for money as you get so much homework. Thanks Lisa!”

“Really professional top class service. I have attended both Pilates and Biomechanics training with Lisa and found it very beneficial”
“I went for an assessment with Lisa who knew exactly where my problems were almost straight away. Lisa spent a lot of time taking pics/videos which she later sent to me along with a write up on each.. this was so helpful. I left with homework to do and feeling a lot more hopeful!! I would highly recommend Lisa and hope to have her down to run some rider Pilates classes in Bessbrook”
