By separating rider from horse and working on an Equi-simulator I can pinpoint and target problem areas / barriers that are inhibiting progress giving clients an empowering feeling of achievement and increased harmony when they bring their new ability into practice on their own horses.
By Separating horse and rider we can help riders focus more on recognising feel and improving riders strength, balance and flexibility, but sometimes when we bring the horse back into the equation it is helpful to have guidance to remind our riders and help with a smooth Transition from simulator to steed! Therefore we do offer off-site lessons with clients own horses to support our clients during this part of there journey
Our methods often aid and compliment other riding tuition, they don't have to present conflicting advice in order to manifest themselves as 'the missing piece', Sometimes a fresh, rider centric approach focusing on muscle memory and proprioception is incredibly beneficial to the horse and riders overall partnership and can show noticeably in there performance at there next coaching session.
A simu;ato lesson can be an excellent aid to the journey back into the saddle, we understand how it can feel when returning to riding, there can often be that daunting aspect of feeling 'propped on top' of the saddle
A Simulator lesson is the perfect way to get to grips with how to ride the motion with out the worry of riding the horse,
Heather Moffett in her Enlightened Equitation method questions the age old saying that riders should 'follow the movement' and points out that if you are following something it generally means that you are behind it, These methods of Enlightened Equitation help beginners to understand and FEEL how to move with the horse and our cost effective and progress rich simulator lessons mean that they can be an amazing addition to any current riding lessons that you are having.
We understand and sympathise with any rider suffering from a persistent 'niggle' whether it might a rising heel, forward creeping knee or a collapsing hip (I think we may have experience them all at one time or another) It is sometimes hard to make that change in realtime on horseback, we keep trying the same things and are perplexed to be meeting with the same result, So lets think outside the box! with a simulator we can point point an issue, target it precisely without the variable aspect of the horse and put into place a programme to strengthen the mechanics and cement a permenant change.
There are many instances whereas despite our best wishes and intentions we aren't able to get as much time in the saddle as we would like? perhaps we are only able to have one riding session a week? for those of us that rely on lessons or a share, Perhaps we work long ours that make it difficult to fit riding in, especially during winter months? Or the instance that we all dread - time out to to an injury to our horse. We can help with a lesson during our to suit you and a simulator lesson can help maintain our muscle structure and memory
