| See the difference in the leg tensions - the left leg jean has a slight wrinkle showing that the quads are not fully stretched and reaching down. This rider had a serious fall 4 years ago and though she has a trusty mount, still has many spots of tension that riding lessons just couldn't wipe out of her body. On this day, she was able to canter her horse, the first time in the last 4 years. Needless to say, this was a special moment for the three of us - the rider, myself and her horse. |

This rider's right leg has received VHT (Vibromuscular Harmonization Technique) moves allowing the leg to drop into a better position down and around her horse. Note her left leg, which has not been worked on. Her jeans indicate the quads are tight and most possibly further up into the hip and lower back. Even the diagonal shoulder area is affected by blockages in these areas. After working on this rider, she was able to canter her horse for the first time in four years. The release of tension and increased ability to move from the hip joint allowed her to correctly ask for and get the canter. |
