In this never been done before format, Ellie and Sarah will team up to show you how to make a better connection with your horse by riding without postural restrictions. Each session will be divided into three parts.  
  • Rider begins warmed up and begins a lesson with Ellie. Sarah will access postural restrictions and explain to the auditors what is happening with the rider’s body.  
  • The rider dismounts and goes with Sarah for manual therapy, whilst Ellie rides the horse for auditors, explaining what she feels. 
  • The rider gets back on and continues the lesson with Ellie, now in a corrected postural state. 
This unique demonstration implementing physiotherapy in the midst of the session will give the rider an immediate feel to how his or her body should move, thus creating more effective riding.  With the postural restrictions free, the rider will be able to get more out of his or her lesson with Ellie.

Rider Application
We are accepting 5 riders at various levels.  Please print and send application, to Ellie Coletti 26 Otis Hill Road Hingham, MA 02043.
Ellie receives regular bodywork to maintain independently working, balanced muscles.  The result is a more balanced horse, higher rider scores and general performance increase.
Sport specific bodywork and strength training are essential to athlete performance as well as general health and well-being.  Every discipline of riding requires the human to be in harmony with the horse. This is not only relevant to dressage but for the purpose of this clinic, we will demonstrate with dressage riders.  

Special Guest

Dr. Mark Stonkus, Founder, owner MBX in Norwell, MA.  Mark believes in training both mind and body to achieve maximum results. Mark will demonstrate functional weakness in the dressage rider's body and talk about sport-specific physical and mental training.  He is currently doing a project with Ellie which will be incorporated into the presentation.

We can't wait to see you!
