About Lori:
Lori is a dedicated equestrian with over 30 years of experience. Her passion: to help fellow equestrians and their horses to ride correctly with less pain and chance of injury.
Beginning with certification in Equine Sports Massage Therapy, the need to learn and be proficient in saddle fitting for client's with sore backs became critical early on, and became one of the main focuses of SHTS.
Lori has training in all equestrian disciplines, and riding mechanics - including physical therapy, rider fitness, balance/posture and injury prevention. In and out of the saddle, there are many things that can be done to improve your riding position. Your pelvic tilt (pelvic floor) is an important factor to consider when trying to achieve balance in the saddle. Lori can help you to determine what is needed to get your optimal position, through saddle fitting, rider exercises and alignment techniques.
She has taught therapeutic riding, completing the certification workshop courses which have helped in her continuing education on rider posture, alignment and function for many physical conditions.
For Lori, the "drive" to excel at really helping horses and riders who are affected by pain, or injury is a personal one. Having been through the surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy --- and then -- regaining balance and position in the saddle.
To be aware of your limitations as well as your strengths, and how it affects your riding, is an advantage that all should have!
Customized sessions are available for groups and individuals to help you with choosing a saddle and fitting you as the rider in properly fitting saddle that will be comfortable for your body type. Ridden evaluations and off horse instruction and tips on posture, fitness and form will leave you with a whole new way of viewing your riding!
Clinics for a group at your barn are available and a great way to reduce the costs of individual fittings. The format can be structured to fit your groups individual needs and auditors are welcome free of charge.
Saddle fitting clinics, including use of demonstration horses, to show the different considerations necessary for the variety of equine body types will provide an in-depth educational experience for your club, barn group or other function.
