What kinds of riders can Riding Solutions help?
Riding Solutions can help every kind of rider in every kind of riding sport. Riding Solutions is about the physical sport of riding and overcoming the stresses and limitations that it places upon riders’ and horses’ bodies. It is not specific to any kind of sport or type of saddle.
Why horses and riders together?
Horses and riders lend their problems to each other. A rider who is stiff on the right side will make their horse stiff on the right. The same is true in reverse. Understanding the bodywork needs of horse and rider pairs is my specialty.
What kinds of questions do riders frequently bring to Riding
Solutions clinics?
|
Why do my legs move so much when I ride? |
|
Why does my horse throw its head? |
|
Why does my back hurt when I ride? Or my shoulders? Or my seat? |
|
Why can’t my horse pick up the right (or left) canter lead? |
|
Why does my horse spook? |
|
Why does my horse rush its fences? |
|
Why is my horse so crooked when
doing lateral work? |
Can Riding Solutions address all of these questions?
Most definitely!
Does Riding Solutions replace regular riding lessons?
No! Riding Solutions works in concert with regular lessons.
At some point every
rider has found themselves and their horse at an impasse with their
instructor. No matter how patiently that teacher explains how to do
something, you just can’t seem to get it. Or, perhaps it’s your
horse that just can’t seem to do the thing asked of him. At best,
these impasses lead to frustration, at worst they can lead to changing
teachers or even to getting a new “more compliant” horse.
Riding Solutions addresses just such impasses. Riding Solutions is not a specific method of riding instruction. Instead, it’s a series of personalized riding exercises that help riders overcome the physical obstacles that are keeping them or their horse from perfecting the skills that their trainer is trying to teach them. These exercises build on what the rider already knows how to do to help them progress faster and easier in their training.
Where did Riding Solutions come from?
Riding Solutions is the synthesis of my 35+ years as a rider, my 20+ years as a riding instructor in several riding disciplines, and my 28 years as a massage therapist and bodyworker. Using these skills I have been able to create something completely new and very exciting for riders. A true Riding Solution for their riding problems.
