Student Centered-Coaching

Student-centered coaching encourages riders to cultivate confidence in their capabilities to attain equestrian objectives. The skills acquired through embodied anatomy sessions, both in unmounted and mounted contexts, empower riders to accurately perceive when adjustments to their posture are necessary.

About Coaching Sessions.

Whether we meet in person or online. The first session begins with an unmounted quick class about anatomy. We begin by looking at your anatomical area of choice, to get an idea of function. Then we embody the movement. This session gives me insight into how to best help you in the saddle. We are able to be on the same page, making communication so much easier.

Session will either be with the horse here at Eckwood Equestrian or by video analysis. Riding sessions are an hour. For video send in a 30 minute clip of you riding, I will analyze it, then we meet online to discuss biomechanical solutions.

Riding sessions are interview style, I ask you how you are feeling throughout the session. This guides me to work on new areas directed by your responses. My job is to get you feeling areas of your position (equitation) then self correct. This creates rapid change, when you are practicing on your own, you can more easily feel and make changes.

Sessions are imagery heavy, we link metaphorical or anatomical images to your movement. This creates a highway from your brain to the ares of your body, you will be able to remember the feeling and re-create it on your own.

Those in the personal coaching program have the option to follow along with a mind-body strength training program that supports the work we are doing in the saddle.

The most profound changes happen when we can master movement of our bodies in an unmounted setting. When we have time to process and feel in an unmounted setting it becomes easier to find the feeling in the saddle.
