Inside Equestrian: Biomechanics

Monday, 16 July 2018

We caught up with performance analyst Russell Guire to find out more about his role within the team and the effect and importance of rider positioning in equestrian sport today.

Can you tell us more about your role within the team?

My area of work is in equine and rider biomechanics. I provide performance analysis for athletes across the Olympic and Paralympic equestrian disciplines - dressage, showjumping, eventing and para-equestrian dressage. I have been working with the BEF since 2006 and part of my role is to provide performance analysis to the World Class Programme, particularly looking at horse and rider interaction, and work closely with both the Equine and Human Sport Science and Medicine team, making adjustments which can help them improve performance.
