Winter Off Horse Exercise Workshops

From improving your competition performance, helping both you and your horses comfort and confidence when riding or learning to ride for the first time.
Working with your body awareness, mental and physical fitness and techniques off horse has been scientifically proven to improve your ridden performance.

The workshops are a great way to meet likeminded people in a supportive environment and each two hour workshop is a lot of fun.
More dates coming soon.
Very few of us are totally symmetrical, however the harder we work to becoming near to this, the clearer our cues to the horse can be and the easier it is for the horse to carry us with more balance and grace.
We start with Awareness and Balance, helping you to work out what you need to do to gain more symmetry.
Then progress to Power and Balance, helping you to increase strength in the weaker areas of your body to help improve your straightness.
Being closer to symmetry can help keep both you and your horse sounder for longer!
