Lydia instructs a future instructor in positioning a rider
Nora teaching vaulting positions
The University of Pachuca in Hidalgo, Mexico, has a well-established therapeutic riding center funded by the University. In an effort to improve their program and make it NARHA compiant, they hired Strides Executive Director, Nora Fischbach, and Sin Limites (Uruguay) Program Director, Lydia Lercari to teach a week-long course in therapeutic riding instruction. Representatives of therapeutic riding centers from all over Mexico attended the course as well. This is the first course of its kind taught in Mexico, and we were honored to be a part of teaching and demonstrating the safest and most effective methods of providing therapeutic riding.
