Hello!

 This unique, one-day immersive clinic is designed to help riders understand how their own bodies directly influence their horse’s movement, balance, and emotional state.

Through individualized rider biomechanics assessments, guided body awareness sessions, horse tension and movement evaluations, and thoughtfully structured mounted work, participants experience how subtle changes in posture, breath, and organization create meaningful shifts in the horse.

This clinic is designed to help riders understand why things feel the way they do—and how small, intentional changes can create meaningful shifts in both rider and horse.

Participants will learn how to work with their horse as a true partnership, rather than trying to “fix” one side of the equation.

Rider Awareness & Biomechanics

Participants will learn to:

• Identify their personal movement patterns, asymmetries, and postural habits
   
• Understand how pelvis, hips, spine, and breath affect balance and communication
   
• Recognize how subtle tension or restriction in the rider shows up in the horse
   
• Apply simple, effective micro-resets they can use immediately—in the saddle and on the ground
   

Understanding the Horse’s Body & Responses

Participants will learn to:

• Read common tension patterns in the horse’s body
   
• Understand how horses respond to rider imbalance, restriction, or inconsistency
   
• Notice changes in the horse’s way of going when the rider becomes more organized
   
• See the horse not as resistant or crooked—but as honest feedback
   

The Partnership Lens

Participants will explore:

• How horse and rider function as a single system, not two separate parts
   
• Why effort and stronger aids often block progress
   
• How curiosity replaces judgment as a powerful training tool
   
• How clarity in the rider creates confidence and relaxation in the horse
   

Applied Learning—Mounted & Unmounted

Through guided sessions, riders will:

• Experience how off-horse alignment and awareness directly improve mounted work
   
• Learn how to carry new organization into walk, trot, canter, transitions, and obstacles
   
• Feel the difference between “doing more” and allowing better movement
   
• Develop skills they can take home and apply to any horse they ride
   

Personalized Takeaways

Each participant leaves with:

• Their key rider focus (what matters most for their body)
   
• Their most effective personal reset
   
• Insight into their horse’s primary tension pattern
   
• A clear, customized next-steps plan
   
• A partnership intention they can return to in daily training
   

In short:

Participants don’t just learn concepts—they learn how to feel, interpret, and respond differently so both horse and rider can move with more ease, clarity, and trust.

Is this clinic for me?

 This clinic is for riders of any discipline or level who feel stuck, crooked, or inconsistent despite trying harder—and who sense that the missing piece may be them, not their horse. If you want clearer communication without stronger aids, are curious about how your balance, alignment, and tension influence your horse, and value a thoughtful, horse-centered approach, you’ll feel right at home. This experience is ideal for riders who want to understand the why behind what they feel, replace frustration with clarity, and build a more relaxed, responsive partnership with their horse.
