Dr. Melissa Adams, DC, is an expert in human biomechanics especially that of equestrian riders. She is coming together with Dr. Katherine Johnson, DVM, with VRSVA, an expert on equine biomechanics! We are joining forces and offering a one-day clinic designed to provide information and hands-on experience for riders and their horses.

Five spaces available for a rider and their horse. These participants will receive a functional biomechanics exam of their horse, and a saddle assessment, with feedback and instructions to help your horse's performance. Additionally, they will also participate in an under saddle portion and receive an assessment and guidance from both Dr. Adams and Dr. Johnson, as well as an optional trail ride after the event.

In addition to the 5 rider and horse participants, there are 10 places for riders only, with a total of 15 riders. All riders will receive a concussion baseline test and posture analysis with Dr. Adams, as well as a private consult to discuss any relevant findings.
