Whether you are a cutter, eventer, reiner, trail or endurance rider, dressage or hunter/jumper rider, the principles of the basic mounted vocabulary are the same. Join Donna and learn how the use of the rider’s body, through rider biomechanics, influences the horse for better or worse. Learn how to take your riding to the next level by becoming a clear communicator with your horse. Her unique approach to the age-old art of riding focuses on the principals of how the body of the horse and rider work best, as both independent elements and when integrated in a partnership.
Using cutting-edge imagery, ground exercises, Centered Riding techniques, and the foundation principals of classical dressage, Donna produces fluid, graceful correctness in riders and fluid, balanced movement in client's horses. Advanced instruction covers speed and topographical biomechanics for riders interested in eventing and endurance riding.
Donna's techniques and teaching methods are extremely effective, enabling the average rider to significantly improve their own skills and the performances of their equine partners.
Her approach to riding is holistic, treating the rider and horse as a dynamic whole, she introduces various exercises and body work to enable the rider to become dramatically more aware of her/his body. Desirable changes are implemented and the effect they have upon the horse is pointed out to the rider in real time.
