Description

We are very excited to welcome Louisa Maria Cuomo to chat with our host, Liz Eaton FBHS. For those who have read Louisa’s blog ‘What can we learn about our tack choices from whole horse dissection’ on The Horse Hub, you will know that she is passionate about the comfort and well-being of the horse.

Some of the areas to be covered include:
What signs should the rider and trainer be aware of that indicates the horse is uncomfortable?
The basic rules of saddle fit to the static horse, and the less obvious considerations
The trapezius muscle and ligaments, why are they relevant to saddle fit?
Identifying crookedness and achieving symmetry
What happens when the rider is on board and the horse is moving?
Rider symmetry and balance
Stiffness and pain in joints and the impact on saddle movement

Join us for what we know will be an in depth and interesting discussion.Your pre-event questions and comments are invited, and we will do our best to cover them. Contact us

– Links are usually emailed the day before.
– We cannot guarantee that you will receive a live event link if you purchase a ticket after 6pm on the day of the event but you will receive an on-demand link.

LIZ EATON FBHS

Liz has over 35 years’ experience in training riders from grass roots to international competition, in all three disciplines.

She has an innovative approach based on biomechanics and psychology of both horse and rider, which enables her to create positive and lasting changes to their partnership and performance.

In 2023 Liz became the 90th Fellow of The British Horse Society since its inception in 1949, she is now one of only 60 BHS Fellows world-wide.

Louisa Maria Cuomo

The love of horses lies at the heart of Louisa’s work. Her passion for their welfare and comfort drove Louisa to develop her bespoke saddles and new fitting techniques. As well as being a qualified saddle fitter, Louisa is an experienced dressage rider and British Dressage judge and certified Testt coach. Her knowledge and understanding of both horse and rider biomechanics have enabled her to develop a unique process of saddle fitting and create a collection of saddles that maximise the horse’s comfort, performance and reduce issues over time.

Louisa is keen to support riders training their horses correctly in any discipline, right from grass roots to elite sport. She has also worked with the American Dressage Olympic Level riders, assisting in correct saddle biomechanics and analysing the change in performance with use of her high-tech gait analysis cameras.
