"Discovering Your Riding 'Password': The Key to Effective Movement"
My teaching style is all about helping you feel the right way to move. We'll find that sweet spot where everything clicks, and then we'll pick a memorable word that'll help you remember that feeling. It's kind of like finding a secret password that unlocks your best riding!
Well, imagine if your coach told you to "sit up straight!" because your shoulders are slouching. That's a good tip, but how you sit up straight can mean different things. You might squish your shoulders together too tight and that's not quite right either. So, instead, we make sure you know just how it feels to sit up just right, then you choose a word that reminds you of that feeling, like "shoulder pockets!” That way, when you hear your special word, you'll know exactly what to do without getting stiff or uncomfortable. It works no matter that age or experience of the rider. It's about making the right tweaks, and position progression feel natural, fun and for you! I mean at the end of the day, if your body was truly conscious of you or your leaning - it would change it with outing thinking, we have to reset certain areas, not always just try harder and harder!

Why do we do it this way?

Today, I run our busy show centre, livery yard and Hydrotherapy centre, and although I no longer coach Riding School, I continue to now exclusively coach riders with their own horses here at our super facilities at Yorkshire EC. From those starting out a the first levels to riders competing at Advanced levels. I am always seeking ways to develop my own knowledge as I believe you never stop learning.
Along my journey I have collected more qualifications, including becoming a BHS Accredited Professional, UKCC Level 2 Coach, Franklin Method Equestrian Coach, BS Course Design L1 alongside too many courses to list. Naturally I am First Aid trained and Enhanced DBS Checked.
