STARTING POINTS

What is RWYM?

Even if you have met RWYM before this is the best place to start! In a webinar format, Mary Wanless describes the philosophy and key elements of the Ride With Your Mind approach to skilful riding. This Ride With Your Mind thread runs through all of our content.

Language & Learning

Do you know how ‘language’ can help or hinder your coach’s ability to help you learn? Mary describes how RWYM coaches use language to ensure accurate communication of “feelages”. She then goes on to describe the process of learning and how you can become a more skilled learner.

Toolkits

What do you have in your training toolkit? How can you improve your toolkit, and increase your chances of success with your training? The RWYM system covers three toolkits: Groundwork, Riding and Gymnasticising the horse. This webinar style video explains these toolkits and how they interact in detail.

GROUNDWORK

The Well Trained Horse

Is your horse well-behaved on the ground? Are you aware of how horses learn? And how you can help your horse to understand you and become lighter?

This 6-part course develops your skills as a trainer and your horse’s skills as a learner. This course sets you and your horse up for better communication and more effective progress through the following courses.

Groundwork Certification Programme

Cover all the groundwork elements in a structured way and then test your skills in our Groundwork Certification Programme. Each unit has a clip explaining a task and you are encouraged to submit videos to our forums for feedback and eventually a “pass”. When you have completed all the Modules in a Level, a PDF certificate will be emailed to you.
