What "coaching style" to expect when taking lessons here?

TLDR; riders 3rd ride here. Jasper talks a lot. Lol. I do recommend reading though!

Jasper has a very involved coaching style, and teaches his riders to think and understand every aspect of their riding- it can be a little overwhelming for some riders that haven't experienced this before! But as long as you are receptive and eager to learn- the progress that can be made is incredible.

This is a clip from a very "real" lesson yesterday. This is not a rider established in our program, this is only her 3rd ride here.

This rider arrived with the typical "bingo card" of bad habits- low hands, straight arms, collapsed core, wandering legs, crooked body, crooked contact etc all very textbook riding that we see at least 90% of riders come into our program with.

Which is FINE. If this sounds like you- this is not to make anyone feel bad. Ultimately we are all products of what we have been taught, and this unfortunately is the way that most riders are being taught = not the fault of the rider, it's the fault of the industry standards and repeating cycle/generations of the same bad riding habits/techniques continuing to be taught and passed down.

Jasper is passionate about the science of biomechanics (both horse and rider) and is on a mission, one rider at a time, to make corrections to these industry habits.

He teaches riding with the core and seat first and foremost, with legs to supplement, and reins only to be used for alignment.

When you are literally sitting on the body, the engine, the legs etc of the horse- why does it make sense to try to control and manipulate it from the furthest point away? (The head).

Jasper not only will teach how your body can shape and maneuver your horses, but he will also teach you the WHY and theory portion too. It's not just a matter of doing what you're told, it's understanding WHY it works and why we don't do things other ways.

Getting back to the video-
This is this riders 3rd ride with Jasper, and while it's very far from perfect still she has made incredible progress in such a short period! You can see in this video when she puts the pieces together how they work, and then when they fall apart. It is all part of the learning journey!

The more receptive you are to change, excited you are to learn, and DETERMINED to apply the skills- the faster you will progress and see the results unfold. This rider soaks up coaching like a sponge, and is already seeing the fruits of her efforts

Yes this is dressage, but this is dressage for ALL DISCIPLINES. Even if you have zero interest in ever halting at x- learning to ride biomechanically correct will benefit you no matter what your goals or discipline is

I can't believe he is still available!

Jasper is downsizing his personal horses and Isaiah is still looking for his next owner!

Isaiah is an 18 year old Irish Warmblood, approximately 17hh. Been there, done that, wrote the book! We would love to keep him for our lesson program here but unfortunately Isaiah really thrives with ONE or two riders max.

Isaiah gave coach Jasper all of his confidence back after a major life changing riding accident several years ago. Since then he has done the same for many other riders and is honestly such an amazing boy.

He is NOT a beginner horse simply due to his size and breed (he is a sporty warmblood afterall) but for someone who knows how to ride he is incredibly straight forward and easy. He would be fine for a beginner or novice with a coach, he is an excellent teacher. I just would not be comfortable if he went to an exclusively beginner home

He also has great manners on the ground and is just a gentleman to have around!

Isaiah has done EVERYTHING. And I mean everything. Hunters, jumpers, eventing, dressage, combined training, camping, hacking, trails, EAL, lower level western etc. He is the same at home as he is off property

With that being said, he does have minor arthritis and is on previcox daily. He is still sound currently but I do not think he would hold up to a demanding work load at this point in his life. Finding him a light riding home (or retirement!) Home would be the best for him

Currently he lives out 24/7 in a mixed herd, grain once a day, with hay 24/7. He is fine in a stall if needed

He is barefoot and sound , UTD on vaccines. He does have hoof boots I can send him with that he does appreciate if you do any gravel road riding (does not need them otherwise).

If he is the right horse for you please send Jasper M Robinson a message! PLEASE NO TIRE KICKERS!!!
He is very reasonably priced in the lower 4s

Located near Dorchester ON

Will consider an ON property lease. Will not consider an off property lease- please don't even ask

Our littlest rider joined us tonight for jump night!!!

We had 5 riders total tonight for our monthly jump night- and as always, it was a ton of fun! ðŸĪĐ

Jump nights are the only "group lessons" that we do here. They are monthly as long as weather permits, and are focused on simple, confidence building exercises. We set them up to work for all levels of riders- those just trotting poles, up to those jumping more substantial fences. Always a blast!!

This is one of my favourite dressage exercises to help get riders thinking and utilizing their outside aid control.

We are unfortunately plagued by coaches who teach riders to steer by pulling back and/or down with the inside rein- which causes the rider to collapse their core, horse to go on the forehand, body to get strung out behind, and a blocked shoulder.

This is always the hardest thing to correct when riders switch to my program, but it is such a crucial thing to learn!
