Our philosophy and vision

Our vision is to make the horse and rider become one unit. Our system has been scientifically tested, and is continuously evolving, aiming to strengthen the athlete’s balance strategies, the horse-rider communication, and technical skills. Better optimized training will lead to healthier riders, more durable horses, stronger performances, and most of all, a better harmony between two individuals, like two dancers moving like one.

Welfare

In-depth knowledge of the horse and its anatomy helps riders to train their horses in a more correct way, and to understand how the rider's position affects the horse's health and well-being.

Health

By improving their balance and position on the horse, riders can prevent wear and tear and damage to their own body, which prevents pain problems over time.

Performance

Through increased understanding of your own body and continuous training on specific technical skills, both rider and horse can perform better together.
