A Whole Different Breed

Riding Lessons Unlike Any Other…

Did you know that riding lessons programs can be one of the most lucra­tive busi­ness prac­tices involv­ing hors­es? This is because the tradi­tion­al model riding program main­tains students for years with little or no progress forward! The aver­age rider never progress­es beyond 2nd level dres­sage move­ments. The aver­age horse will only make it to 1st or 2nd level dres­sage before the demands on them phys­i­cal­ly, mental­ly and emotion­al­ly stall them.

Why? That is a ques­tion whose answer is very unfor­tu­nate. The aver­age riding instruc­tor has no formal train­ing or prior expe­ri­ence in a teach­ing envi­ron­ment before they start teach­ing riders, and most will never achieve any educa­tion direct­ly relat­ed to teach­ing and instruct­ing. Since the aver­age eques­tri­an will not progress beyond 2nd level, we can surmise that the aver­age riding instruc­tor has only obtained the skills need­ed to reach 2nd level but not beyond.

You will not hear such common phrases as heels down, shoulders back, more forward, sit deeper at Awareness In Riding. The reason is because we teach you how to achieve these habits as SECOND NATURE – not having to struggle every ride to obtain them! Every rider willing to put in the needed time and effort can ride beyond Grand Prix levels no matter their preferred discipline. And horses are ridden in a way that does not injure them or prevent them from going beyond Grand Prix movements – no matter their breed!
