Description

Spend four days taking a deeper look at the most important piece of the riding puzzle: the rider.

Rather than focusing solely on what your horse is doing, this immersive boot camp is designed to help you understand your own position, balance, coordination, feel and effectiveness, and how each of those influences the horse underneath you.

Over four days, we’ll combine lunge lessons, rider biomechanics, pole work, obstacles, individual ridden sessions and off-horse workshops. Each element has a purpose, with sessions designed to build on one another as the camp progresses.

The longer format gives us something a normal lesson can’t: time. Time to identify patterns, make changes, experiment with a different feel, revisit those changes and begin turning new ideas into better riding habits.

Expect a supportive, small-group environment with plenty of riding, practical learning and discussion.

You’ll finish the four days with a much clearer picture of how you ride, how your riding affects your horse, and where to focus your training next.

Four days. One horse-and-rider partnership. Lots of lightbulb moments.
