Virtual lessons can aid equestrians who lack access to in-person coaching. Over recent months I’ve helped riders create personalized, systematic plans to improve their skills, leading to greater harmony and success in competitions. Send in your photos and videos to get detailed feedback and exercises, providing a convenient alternative to traditional coaching.
What a riding simulator actually teaches Generally speaking, a riding simulator mimics the movement of a horse. This allows the rider to feel the walk, trot, canter, and transitions in a controlled environment. A horse simulator removes the unpredictability of movement so you can focus entirely on your body and feeling how your body moves….
I’ve found that judging horse shows has been just as valuable in refining my eye for good equitation. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of the sport but has also directly impacted my ability to help riders quickly and recognize the root challenges
After many years of keeping my own journal, I’ve “put my money where my mouth is”, and designed and published a HORSE RIDING JOURNAL to help you keep your riding on track as well.
I ordered some proof copies (seen here at right) and it looks wonderful. You can order your own journal right here.
Have you ever felt like your legs just won’t stay still while riding? My advice? ride without stirrups. That is what I would tell my students. And that’s why I decided to give it a try. At least for one ride anyway. And when I mean 1 ride, I mean 10 minutes of one ride….
Stay fit, confident and in the saddle. Consider these things when riding over 50.
