About this video

This is the follow-up to the 'Tai Chi basics on the ground' video, where James Shaw worked on the principles of Tai Chi for riders with Horse Hero's Fiona Price. Here Fiona borrows the ex racehorse Tas (who has an impressive pedigree and was bred by the Aga Khan) but who is not especially easy in the mouth, to apply her learning. Fiona finds there is so much to absorb, from dropping the breath to being conscious of her seat bones, turning the sternum in the opposite direction to her belly button, riding like a 'monkey' and keeping her elbows forward. Though her brain hurts by the end of the session, Fiona discovers this is powerful stuff indeed!
