If traditional training was enough, your horse would already feel better.
You wouldn’t still be dealing with tension, resistance, inconsistency, or a horse that tries… but never quite feels connected or confident underneath you.
This work is for you if
-
Your horse feels inconsistent, tense, or braced despite good training
-
You’ve tried different instructors, exercises, or equipment with limited change
-
You care deeply about welfare and performance
-
You don’t want to escalate pressure to get results
-
You’re open to changing how you communicate, not just what you ask
As riders we know what to do.
But we don't always know how to do it.
When a horse can’t clearly feel what’s being asked:
-
they brace
-
they shut down
-
they lose optimism
-
performance becomes inconsistent​
I replace traditional training for riders whose horses are stuck because the rider’s body is unintentionally interfering with the conversation.
By changing how the horse experiences the rider and developing the horse’s body so subtle aids can land on a capable back.
​
Horses learn best through clarity, choice, and autonomy, not force.
When communication is clear and the horse’s body is able to carry, horses become more optimistic, learning accelerates, tension drops, performance improves naturally
This is biomechanics informed by learning theory, applied practically.
How we Can Work Together
Online Rider Biomechanics Session on the Mat
Riders who know something in their body is interfering but don’t know how to change it. This session happens off the horse, on the mat. In this session we will identify unconscious movement patterns that confuse your horse, reorganise posture, balance, and coordination, retrain how your body produces clear, consistent signals, reduce tension that transfers directly into the saddle. This work often creates an immediate shift in how riders feel and riders consistently report that their horse feels different in the very next ride.
Monthly Biomechanics Program
This program brings both mat and ridden lessons together.
You can reorganise yourself, but if the horse doesn’t have the strength or coordination to receive subtle aids, nothing sticks.​
You can condition the horse but if the rider keeps interfering, the horse keeps compensating.
This program solves both sides at once. This results in clearer communication, lighter aids, horses that stay soft instead of reverting, learning that becomes optimistic, not defensive. For many international riders, this program replaces traditional training, because once the communication is clear, the horse no longer needs to be trained through confusion.
Online Ridden Biomechanics Session
Riders who want to work directly with their horse and address what’s happening in real time. This session happens on the horse. In this session we observe how your horse responds to your body, identify where communication breaks down under saddle, reduce rider interference that forces the horse to compensate, help your horse find a more capable and confident in the way they carrying themselves. This session is about changing how the horse experiences the rider. Many horses show visible changes in, softness, willingness, balance, and consistency.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
I don’t separate rider and horse work
I don’t sell quick fixes or generic programs
I don’t train through tension or confusion
This is not a method.
It’s a way of working that gives both horse and rider clarity, comfort, and confidence.

I’ve spent the past 5+ years studying biomechanics, nervous system regulation, and ethical performance, working with leading experts and applying the work directly to horses and riders.
I didn’t build this work to fit into the industry. I built it because traditional systems didn’t work for me or my horses.
