NuBodies Fitness Clinic with Dereck Farr

Personal trainer, Kinesiologist, and nutritionist Dereck Farr addressed some common myths and misconceptions regarding fitness and nutrition.

Eddo Hoekstra and Joan Adler Riding & Balimo Clinics 

Since riders are unique, we focus on the rider’s ability to find their balance in motion, as the key to successful riding.  Rider’s need to recognize muscle imbalances, either strength &/or coordination, as possible blockages in their body (can be mental as well as physical).

Balimo Instructors use "task-oriented teaching" as an effective way for training motion and feel. This time & process-oriented approach, allows the rider the opportunity to develop the correct ‘muscle memory’ necessary for effective and enjoyable riding.

Using Balimo exercises, on or off the horse, riders will feel improvement in their horse's & their own performance. Simultaneously, they’re training the necessary ‘muscle memory’ for long-term harmonious & enjoyable riding.

"We have to be fit...we need to be balanced, well coordinated, supple, and relaxed - all the things we want our horse to be..." - Eddo Hoekstra
