Video Analysis

At Equestrian Dynamics we offer a unique coaching service. With over 16 years experience within riding and coaching we have developed techniques to help you achieve your equestrian dreams.

Video analysis provides both coach and rider with a powerful training tool. It is impossible for the human eye to take in subtle differences in rider position and horse movement.
Something as simple as a dropped shoulder or slight head tilt can over time have a detrimental impact on you as the rider and on the muscular mechanisms of your horse.

Video analysis provides early detection of postural faults. During sessions the software slows the video frame rate down, identifying potential problems. Further detailed positional analysis can be achieved using graphics to highlight the following areas:

 Angle of rider's hips.
 Balance within the saddle
 Suppleness within the lower back
 Levelness of shoulders and head
 Hand position
 Lower leg stability
 Rider influence on horse movement

The Benfits of Video Analysis for your Horse

The benefits of this software are truly remarkable. Many riders have found that early detection of positional faults has helped improve their competition scores, giving them the edge on their competitors as well as avoiding costly injury to themselves and their horses.
Many horses will show subtle muscular changes before the physical signs of lameness. Video analysis has been successfully applied to farriery, veterinary and training programmes as a means of injury prevention. Video analysis detects:

 Subtle muscular changes before lameness
 Uneven stride
 Imbalance within the pelvis
 Back stiffness
 Hock stiffness
 Neck tension
 Problems relating to shoeing
 Straightness issues during schooling sessions
