SUSAN HARRIS CLINIC
SCHEDULE
Friday, August 12, 2011
Anatomy In Motion: The Visible Horse
The Visible Horse is a unique
and original demonstration by Susan Harris, in which she paints
the muscles and skeletal system on a living horse to show how
the anatomy of the horse works in motion at all gaits. The
skeletal system, painted on one side, demonstrates the structure
and movement of the body and limbs. On the other side, the
colorfully painted major muscle groups show how the "circle of
muscles" works to produce good movement and balance. As the
horse works on the longe line, it's easy to see and understand
the function of the bones and muscles, what causes good and poor
movement, and common causes of movement problems. Participants
gain a deeper understanding of the horse, its anatomy,
structure, movement and proportions, including information on
the equine and human body and how they work together in all
forms of horsemanship.
12:00 to 1:00

Introductory Lecture - an
introduction to Centered Riding, how it applies to various kinds

Groundwork Sessions
Centered Riding Clinics begin with a daily Groundwork Session
(dismounted), for all clinic riders. This session includes body
awareness and other exercises which support the mounted work.
Auditors are welcome to participate.
Auditors
Auditors are welcome at all sessions, and may participate in
groundwork exercises. The PA system allows auditors to hear as
well as riders.
Rider Levels
Susan is happy to work with riders at any level, but as a
minimum, clinic riders must be able to ride safely in a group at
walk and trot. Horses must be safely manageable in a group.
Number of Riders
Riding classes are limited to 5 riders. Maximum clinic size is
20 riders. All riders should ride and attend groundwork sessions
on all clinic days. New riders may not join a class after the
first day.
