Update from Windy Hollow – riding for the disabled

Posted by rivalblogger on 12th July 2010

As most of you know I have started presenting clinic’s using the horse skeletons that OP has prepared for us, well to complement this we have managed to get 9 shared lesson spaces with Colleen Kelly the international Bio-Mechanics Specialist, on Sunday morning 25 July, these will be allocated on a first paid first booked basis, and observers will be charged R100, closing date 16th of Jully. It is to be hosted at Immaculate Stables in Golfview, Walkerville, refreshments will be on sale.

After lunch we will host an introduction to and using our specimens to show what bad rider position does to the horses spine and what careless choice of going does to their legs. The cost of this will be R150 per person, we have split the costing of the two parts in case participants don’t want to take part in both sections.

Please phone me on 082 975-5369 or email me on helen@windyhollow.org.za to book.

Thanx

The first phase of this was to revamp our own web-site to demonstrate the level of quality we wish to portray.
