Western Dressage Rider Biomechanics | Stephany Fish Crossman | PART 01

Western Dressage • 25m

Stephany starts by watching the rider moving on the horse at a walk in both directions. This rider is a Western Dressage rider on a 15-year-old grade gelding. Stephany said that one challenge facing Western Dressage riders is that in older Western saddles, the stirrup bars are placed more forward, which doesnt put your leg in a good position. After watching the rider, Stephany helps reposition her so that she is more effective.
