Every lesson will be different according to needs of the student and their horse.
First of all, I like to take the moods of the rider and the horse into consideration.
​
I always begin with listening: listening to your horse, to your own body, to nature.
Then, I move on to feeling: feeling the movement of your horse and how your body is responding to your horse. I work with this awareness of movement to create a communicative partnership between horse and rider.
​
I always incorporate breathing techniques to allow the rider to return their mind to the present moment while engaged with their horse.
​
We want to communicate with the horse, but without listening carefully and bringing
awareness to your riding, you will miss those messages your horse communicates to you.
​
A true partnership with your horse improves your riding and your horse's ability to understand what you are asking for.
