About
Biomechanics
by Kimberly

For those of
us on the
continuing
search for
improvements
to our riding
skills, the
USDF
University
accredited
lecture for
members of the
Ventura and
Pomona CDS
chapters in
Dec 2000, was
a great
opportunity to
learn more
about the
biomechanics
of the human
body and the
muscle control
and tone
needed to ride
well. Article

Ask The Expert
Stephen M. Apatow
"I
am a
middle-aged
rider who has
come back to
riding after
about 15
years. I have
an 8-year-old
Thoroughbred
cross gelding
that I work at
First Level,
hoping to do
some showing
eventually. I
find I am not
as flexible as
I used to be
and have
recently heard
about
"biomechanics"
and how it
might help me.
I'm not sure
what is meant
by the term as
it refers to
riding horses.
Can you
explain what
it is and why
it is
important to
dressage
riders like
me?"

used in
Eastern Bloc

programs for
gymnastics and

skating, is
the reference
point for the

of fundamental
movement
mechanics and

Expanding
Human to
Veterinary
Biomechanics Applications
.
In
1994, after
learning about
the
application of
the procedure
in a cervical
entrapment
neurapathy
case on the
wife of a
physician at
Yale Medical
School, a
veterinarian
in Northern
Nevada
requested our
help with a
spinal
condition
involving a 12
year old
basset hound.
The sucess of
this case in a
quadruped
application
opened the
door for work
on hundreds of
sporthorses in
dressage,
hunter-jumper
and western
training
programs. For
