• Take the rider through some of the basic concepts of Connected Riding without your horse
• Groundwork to help your horse find a functional posture for ridden work
• Short "eyes closed" riding session - this allows the rider to feel the horse allowing them to feel how their movement changes depending on your body position. The rider will be led for this part of your lesson.
• Rebalancing in the saddle
• A normal riding lesson
