Demonstrations by Mary Wanless of how she breaks down the rider's position to ensure that the rider can sit in balance was way too short however we caould already see improvements in the short time available. A demonstration of myofascial massage techniques as well as an explanation of reflex responses of the horse's neck and back were used to explain some potential impacts on performance but the highlight for most people was the riding demponstration by the chech schoolgirl who only had 2 hours the previous day to introduce 2 unkown horses to her interpretation of natural horsemanship ideas. She rode a 7year old hunter without a bridle over fences and demonstrated some ground skills on a 3yo. It would have been great to see how she introduced her techniques to these horses but once again , time was against us.
