YOUR COURSES
There is a wealth of information on the site and possibly the most difficult decision is which course to follow next!
The simple advice is to start at the beginning! Possibly a better option is to post a link to a short video of you handling or riding your horse in the forums and Ali will help with recommendations. Keep in mind that the forums are your go-to place for feedback and World Class help.
ORIENTATION
Great information on the philosophy underpinning the Ride With Your Mind approach to handling and riding horses. We’ll understand if you choose to come back to this later!
GROUNDWORK COURSES
These courses are far more than “just groundwork”, building from basics to advanced lateral work, both on the ground and in the saddle.
You will gain an understanding of how your horse learns so that your communication with him becomes clearer, calmer and more successful. Very quickly this builds to a horse that is more responsive on the ground and in the saddle.
Either of these courses is a great place to start however the best place to make rapid progress is our certificatin programme because feedback on your Forum submissions will speed your journey.
RIDER BIOMECHANICS COURSES
Excellent Rider Biomechanics underpins good, ethical, horse-friendly riding at all stages and in all disciplines. Whether you are hacking, schooling or competing in any discipline, your horse will appreciate a rider who stays on the balance point and uses light, nuanced signals.
Start with our certification program to ensure you have covered the fundamentals, then follow other courses to fine-tune your skills.
CERTIFiCATION PROGRAMMES
Our Certification Programmes are a great place to start because they deliver key concepts in bite-sized, progressive chunks. When you’ve practiced with your horse you submit videos for review by coach Ali Wakelin so you canbe certain that you are practicing the right thing. Ali is also on hand to offer help if things aren’t quite working out for you.
