Your Influence Is Greater Than You Think: How Your Movement Shapes Your Horse
Dr. Blaine Bugg
Course Length: 1 Hour 30 Minutes
“The way you move becomes the way your horse moves.”
Every rider influences their horse — often in ways they don’t realize. In this insightful Inhand Equine Therapy Team Talk, Dr. Blaine Bugg explores the profound impact that a rider’s movement patterns, posture, past injuries, and neuromuscular habits have on equine performance, balance, and behavior.
Drawing from over 30 years of clinical observation, Dr. Bugg demystifies how the neuromusculoskeletal systems of both horse and rider process information from their environment. He explains how subtle dysfunctions in the rider’s body can create compensatory patterns, reactivity, and adaptation in the horse — and how increasing awareness and proprioception can dramatically improve communication and harmony.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how movement is organized, how the rider’s body influences the horse’s ability to perform, and why addressing the journey of movement is just as important as focusing on the destination. This webinar offers practical insight that can help redefine goals, remove hidden limitations, and support more efficient, connected performance.
This course is ideal for riders of all disciplines and levels, equine professionals, coaches, and anyone seeking a clearer understanding of the horse–rider relationship through the lens of movement, neurology, and biomechanics.
