Designed by an Equestrian Coach who's also an Equine Body Worker, The Equine PT Program combines the principles of Classical Dressage with modern Movement Science. It's a training method that works WITH the horse's body, including exercises to strengthen his core postural muscles so he can stand, move and carry the rider in a healthier posture. This has the flow-on effect of helping reduce many co
mmon training and schooling issues in the arena. Issues like falling in and cutting the corners, falling out on the circle, trouble bending on the stiff side, horses that are tense, rushing or travel in a hollow frame, that disunite in the canter or struggle to get the correct canter lead. All of these issues can be resolved by addressing the underlying symptom (rather than focusing on the cause as many riding instructors do!) for example, it could be that the horse has a weak left hind, and that's why he's can't bend to the right etc. It's not just for competitive/equestrian horses though, this training method is based on bio-mechanics and improving the way the horse chooses to use his body. It's great for strengthening up young or green horses so you can build up their backs and core strength prior to starting under saddle, to make it easier and less stressful for them to learn to carry a rider. It's perfect for maintaining senior/retired horses to release some of that age-related stiffness tightness, and can be done both from the ground or from the saddle. The Equine PT Program offers both stand-alone Online Courses and also ongoing Coaching Programs where you can work closely with Jessica in a fully customisable program to suit the place you and your horse are starting from right now. If you'd like to join the ever-growing group of riders who want the best for their horses and are looking to train them in a way that works with the horse - both physically, mentally and emotionally - strengthening and suppling their bodies, preserving their willing natures and keeping them sounder for longer then please be in touch via fb messenger or [email protected] to discuss how I can help you with your horse.
