Chaparosa is a place where thoughtful riding and horse welfare matter. These rider biomechanics sessions are designed to support that standard by focusing on how the rider’s body influences the horse’s movement, comfort, and understanding of the aids.
This work is not discipline-specific and does not replace regular instruction. Instead, it complements the training already happening at Chaparosa by helping riders improve alignment, balance, body awareness, and clarity—so the horse can move more freely and respond more easily.
