The Blue Ridge School of Equestrian Arts


On Feb. 19,2011 BRSEA presented the first of "Winter Series of Lectures at Lunch", hosted by "Chateau du Cheval", in their climate control lecture hall. Lecture content: How well do you know your horse"?

Physical: Where is your horse on a physical fitness scale? The lecturer, Lydia Juenger, showed the participants how to rate their horses fat scale. Gait analysis was used to show symmetry vs. asymmetry. How to read your horse's muscular balance. Lydia also showed how to stretch you horse to help improve range of motion.

Emotional: How to read your horses expression. When is he worried, passive, aggressive, or giving you a warning to back off.

Intellectual: What is your horses aptitude for learning? What teaching methods work with your horse. What disipline is he best suited for.

Thanks to Sue Spiegle, owner of "Chateau du Cheval" and founder of BRSEA for making this a wonderful lecture. Our next lecture will be in March. Keep watch for date to be announced.
