Kendra is back to help you and your horse work together in a more balanced state. Kendra specializes in horse and rider biomechanics for students who train dressage, eventing, western and hunter/jumper at all levels. Registration closes April 29.
This clinic offers her regular biomechanic lessons and the new Novel Sensor Rider Biomechanics Lessons. See below for details.
Traditional coaching relies on the eye; we add data. Using Novel® Saddle & Stirrup Load pads, we identify the microscopic imbalances affecting your and your horse’s performance and soundness.
What is the Novel® Saddle Sensor Clinic?
By integrating advanced pressure-sensing technology with our standard biomechanics coaching, we can now see—in real-time—exactly how your weight is distributed, where your balance shifts, and how your horse is receiving your cues.
Whether you are working on your sitting trot, refining your jumping position, or rehabbing from an injury, these sensors take the guesswork out of your progress. Combined with the Franklin Method balls and bands you know and love along with many other exercises and techniques, this clinic offers the most data-driven path to a better partnership with your horse, showing all the little things that can't always be seen from the ground.
Registration is now open to reserve your spot at our Awards Banquet. Remember that Individual and Junior Members receive complimentary reservations! Additional discounts and special rates are available. Secure your place today to ensure you don’t miss this celebratory event.
