Monday, April 4 saw 14 of us present at Clover Valley Equestrian Center to hear a presentation by Cydria Schaefer, DVM, CVA. Cydria is a certified Yoga and Centered Riding instructor, and is starting studies in the Feldenkrais Method of Awareness Through Movement. Cydria discussed the bio-dynamics of the body and how our movement affects our horses, and explained how she helps riders work more harmoniously with their horses. There was keen interest in having her back for a clinic, so stayed tuned for more on that. A thermography clinic is already scheduled for Saturday, April 23 at Clover Valley Equestrian Center. Starting promptly at 1:00 p.m., Miriah Stuart will be scanning five demo horses and explaining the results; it will be a great opportunity to learn more about thermography and how it might help our horses.
