Horses are extremely sensitive to their riders, from weight changes to unnecessary small tensions, even the mood of the rider. When a rider learns a more fluid and balanced use of their body, the horse can move freely and becomes more fluid and balanced too. The horse responds to everything the rider does: tension, balance, breathing and intention.
The Alexander approach has a long history within equestrian circles and has influenced respected riding educators internationally. Alexander Technique refines the rider’s skills at whatever level they ride, including the most advanced levels of dressage. Sitting with an easy, balanced upright posture in the saddle a rider will help their horse to carry them with balance and freedom of motion, and enjoy greater efficiency of movement. The Alexander Technique can give a new dimension of freedom and harmony to your experience of horse-riding.
