Do you ever feel like your body just isn’t doing what you’re asking it to in the saddle? 🐴
Maybe you…
• Feel much more secure on one rein than the other
• Struggle to keep an even contact or apply one leg effectively
• Collapse or tip to one side without realising
• Find it difficult to maintain your balance through transitions or over fences
• Keep being told to “sit straighter”, “put your leg on” or “stop twisting” but can’t seem to actually change it
• Have a horse who consistently falls one way, struggles with one bend or feels noticeably different from side to side
Sometimes the answer isn’t simply trying harder to sit correctly.
How we move, stabilise and coordinate our bodies off the horse can influence what we’re able to do once we’re in the saddle and ultimately how clearly we can communicate with our horse.
That’s what my new Rider Performance Package is designed to explore.
We’ll start with a ridden biomechanics session, looking at your position, balance and application of the aids alongside your horse’s way of going. Using different ridden exercises and tests to identify patterns to see what changes when we alter your position or movement.
We then take you off the horse for a Rider Development Session. We’ll look more closely at relevant mobility, strength, stability, coordination and movement patterns before working through exercises specifically chosen for you. I’ll coach you through them so you understand the correct technique, what you should be feeling and how to perform them confidently on your own. These sessions can be done in the private gym I work from or at your yard/home.
From what we find I will write you a manageable personalised exercise plan, just a small number of targeted exercises rather than an overwhelming full training programme.
Then comes the important bit: 3-4 weeks later we retest.
Across your second ridden and Rider Development sessions, we can see what has changed, progress your exercises and, most importantly, look at how these improvements are transferring into your riding.
The aim isn’t to create a “perfect” position. It’s to help you become a more balanced, secure and effective rider, giving you greater control over your own body so you can give clearer aids and make riding easier and hopefully your horse’s job easier too.
