Great images from Centaur Biomechanics regarding rider pelvic movement during the different gates.

Nice image from one of our projects illustrating how the riders pelvis is influenced by each gait. Image displaying the forward/backward movement of the riders pelvis when walking, trotting and cantering. Reinforces the need to develop pelvic mobility allowing the rider to follow the movements of the horse, and for each gait. 🤓🤓 Fun night ahead processing more data 🤓🤓
