Coordination variability reveals the features of the ‘independent seat’ in competitive dressage riders
Investigating the coordination patterns behind a familiar riding concept.
Research & publications
I have questions.
Here’s the research.
Exploring how riders move, how horse and rider coordinate, and how measurement can help us understand performance.

Static pelvic posture is not related to dynamic pelvic tilt or competition level in dressage riders
Examining the relationship between static posture and pelvic movement on a riding simulator.

Conference paper · 2024
Exploring the attenuation interaction between horse and rider in sitting trot using inertial measurement units
Measuring the interaction between horse, rider pelvis, and trunk during sitting trot.
Conference abstract · 2022
Equestrian rider trunk-pelvis strategies can be identified using self-organising maps

Beyond the laboratory
The lab is
sometimes an arena.
My work has included using inertial measurement units to study horse–rider coordination during riding tasks, alongside simulator-based investigations of rider movement.
My PhD at the University of the West of England focused on dynamic technique analysis of the female equestrian rider.
