My Teaching Ethos

Riding is the art of uniting and connecting with your horse, physically, mentally and spiritually in an attitude of soft, contolled energy and mutual co-operation and understanding. My lessons are based on achieving this goal for every horse and rider that I work with. My teaching of the Alexander Technique can teach you how to control and release your body into balance, letting go of the excess tension which conventional riding lessons often create. A balanced rider is an effective rider and has a confident and happy athletic horse. My teaching of the Alexander Technique provides the rider with a unique 'set of tools' which she/he can use to replace old, faulty habits with new correct practices. My training programme - STEP BY STEP TRAINING - allows riders to move confidently from one logical step to the next so that progress for the horse and rider is sustained. Lessons for both horse and rider and taught in an atmosphere of understanding, support and praise.
