Falling from the horse is almost inevitable either during training and competing, or even just when relaxing and hacking. We have developed a course to teach riders to develop techniques to reduce injury rates when they fall. The course builds on simple low velocity falls onto mats into faster and higher energy impacts.
Learn The Basics
First we will demonstrate the techniques and teach you the basics of falling correctly.
Build up confidence
Then through repetition of these drill we can help build confidence and muscle memory to the techniques.
Increased Height
After some muscle memory is developed we then begin to add height to the falls to start to simulate actual falls.
High Velocity
The final stage of the course is to add speed to the previous stages and simulate a full fall.
“A brilliant course! A great way to learn techniques to help protect your body in falls”
