Rider Biomechanics begins by explaining fascia - the 'cinderella of
body tissues'. Until recently, this was ignored by science,
consigned to its apparent role as the body's packing material.
However, research shows that, in reality, this biological fabric
links muscles into functional chains, rather like strings of
sausages. Recent research has shown that the horse's fascial system
is remarkably similar to our own, with equivalent 'lines of pull'
that affect posture, movement, stability and mobility. Inevitably,
the problems inherent in sitting and riding well are magnified when
there is imbalance within and between the fascial 'guy-ropes' of
rider and/or horse. We should realise that imbalance in either
partner can send the other 'out of true', whilst the 'equipoise' of
one partner helps the other to regain that poise. By working
through this book, you will learn to access and rebalance your own
fascial net to significantly improve your stability, skill and
'feel'. Practical exercises, enhanced with copious photographs and
diagrams, show how to balance your front and back, left and right -
yielding skills that simultaneously address the equivalent
imbalances in your horse. Mary explains how effective force
transmission within the fascial system enables riders to push their
hands forward, taking away the temptation to pull on the reins.
Later chapters show how twists and distortions in both human and
horse can be addressed through accessing the fascial lines that
wrap diagonally around the body. Lastly, a look at the core of both
partners shows just how profound their connection can be.
