About the Event

Hayley will tailor your lesson to meet the needs of both you and your horse.  She can cater to riders of all ages and all levels. Dependent on your experience with Connected Riding, your lesson(s) might include:

  • Balancing off the horse - Hayley will help you to feel neutral pelvis in a safe environment and provide you with the tools to self-test your position in the saddle
  • Take you through some of the basic concepts of Connected Riding without your horse
  • Groundwork to help your horse find a functional posture for ridden work
  • A short "eyes closed" riding session allows you to feel your horse as you ride and how its movement changes depending on your body position. You will be led for this part of your lesson.
  • Rebalancing in the saddle
  • A normal riding lesson

Body Balance & Proprioception Session

Every 1-hour lesson comes with a 15-minute session on a saddle horse.  This session is the foundation for all the other Connected Riding techniques.  In this session, you will be asked to sit in your saddle in several different ways and do some body awareness exercises.  Then small adjustments will be made until you can feel and experience what neutral pelvis feels like.  You are also given some tips for self-testing which help once you are riding your own horse.  

In some instances, there may be opportunities for Observers to have a stand-alone Body Balance & Proprioception session.  We strongly recommend using your own saddle for this.
