Author’s Note: I have been a Certified Rolfer for fourteen years, and trained with Joseph Freeman at his Equine Natural Movement School about nine years ago. My approach to Dr. Ida P. Rolf’s work has always been filled with intrigue. My work style is a fusion based on her principles combined with Freeman’s work. The corresponding techniques and style are based on many years of studying conformation: form and function. Additionally, feedback from trainers and riders, particularly Tracye Ferguson, trainer at Meridian Riding Club, has shaped my personal interpretation of structural integration (SI) for the performance horse.
