High-Performance Equestrian Ep 11: Proprioception; is your body applying aids how you think it is?
Proprioception could be considered a sixth sense and is our ability to detect where are body parts are in space. This episode discusses how skilled riders have symmetry of movement, pressure, force, and position, detected and controlled by proprioception - along with coordination and balance - and also what riders can do to improve this off the horse!
