Rider Focus Physiotherapy

Great to have Georgie from PEC Physiotherapy join us for some learning at our Sparsholt Simulator sessions.

Look out for more dates coming soon - always so much to learn from combing these sessions with physiotherapy / Pilates and on horse work!

Huge thank you to Hannah and Liz (and Charisma!) at for both allowing me to come and shadow what they do during a mechanical horse assessment and assessing me on Charisma. Super interesting and loads to take away from the day- I will certainly be investing in some Franklin balls and resistance bands🙌🏼 If anyone is interested to know more then I would definitely look out for future dates at Sparsholt as it is so important to know what your body is doing when on a horse!
