The effect in you shoulders, neck and arms The more you absorb the horse's movement the less tension you hold, the less tension you hold the more you can absorb the horse's movement. My inital role is to spot where student's hold their tension and offer them individual techniques for releasing tension. There is not a set order to the above steps, as it depends on where, why and how a student holds tension. As the student progresses, I will guide them towards searching for their own tensions so they can become successful on their own. Once you have a deeper connection and fluidity throughout your body in the sitting trot you will have imrpoved your feel through your seat. your legs, your core and possibly more... |

training and how we can achieve it. It will also include a short body scan, and some practical exercises to understand and explore how
much a horse moves us in the trot. This will prepare students to be more aware of their own bodies, so they can feel more once riding.

Each student will ride a horse at their own level of ability. They will each develop their own skills on how to release and allow into a a sitting trot , become more aware of the 3 dimensional movement throughout the body. feel where they block or hold tension and learn
ways to let it go.
