This is very useful and helpful and I was happy about every patient who ran better.<\/p>\n

But how do you improve the sequence of movements, quality, awareness, coordination? “There is no limit to the improvement of movement.<\/em>” This Feldenkrais quote illustrates what moved me to look for new possibilities in horse training.
