Overview

  • Trip Details

    With very limited places available, early booking is essential.


    Sessions follow her motto:  “Your seat is the key. Through your seat you lead. Not by force, but by feel.”   The lessons will focus on the rider’s balance and seat. She will explain technically how to sit in different exercises so you allow your horse the best possible freedom to perform. As a result, riding will feel more effortless, you will feel even more in harmony with your horse and you will learn to ride more with your seat and legs and less with your hands.
