Transform Your Riding With Riding Essentials
Growing up taking riding lessons and eventually owning my own horses, I began to notice a consistent disconnect between instructors and students. Too often, important terminology went unexplained, and key riding concepts were glossed over. Phrases like “use more leg” were said repeatedly without ever being clearly defined. As a result, many riders spent years struggling to understand things that would have been incredibly helpful to learn from the very beginning.
There were aspects of rein use, for example, that I didn’t fully understand until I had been riding for over ten years. Had I learned those concepts early on, it would have made a world of difference not only in my riding, but in my communication with my horse.
Understanding why you’re doing what you’re doing while riding is essential to communicating effectively with your horse. That’s why I created the Riding Essentials Course—an online program designed to give you the why and the how behind correct riding. Whether you’re a newer rider looking to improve, a horse owner wanting to refine your skills, or someone returning to riding after a break, this course offers valuable insight for riders of any level.
What’s Included:
- Eight lessons covering the exercises and principles needed to transform your riding
- Over thirty high-quality videos with clear, step-by-step instruction
- Quick-reference cheat sheets to help you remember and apply key concepts
- Specific homework assignments to practice and reinforce each lesson
- Quizzes to ensure you retain and understand the material

- You do not need your own horse—this course pairs well with weekly riding lessons
