As a trainer, you'll gain the tools to help riders move with more efficiency, awareness, and coordination—improving how they absorb force, recover, and ride with ease. You’ll learn how to guide students in developing better biomechanics and deeper connection with their horses using movement-based strategies and mental imagery. This approach enhances rider focus, confidence, and clarity, allowing you to support long-term progress in both posture and partnership without relying on quick fixes or surface-level corrections.

This training gives you a reliable framework for assessing and improving the rider’s upper body, so your coaching becomes more precise and effective. You will learn how to identify the real source of a rider’s shoulder or contact issue and guide them through embodied tools that create lasting change. The methodology helps you coach with clearer language, better cueing strategies, and a deeper understanding of how the rider’s biomechanics influence the horse. You will leave with practical skills you can apply immediately in lessons to create more coordinated, aware, and responsive riders.

You can expect a comprehensive, mentorship-based learning experience that blends anatomical precision, embodied movement training, and applied pedagogy. This isn’t a passive course—it’s an interactive certification where you'll actively practice, teach, and refine your skills in real time.

Throughout the training, you’ll:

• Learn to assess and improve coordination, dynamic movement, and shoulder control in the rider

• Gain practical tools and teaching frameworks to apply in lessons, clinics, and group settings

• Explore the role of fascia in the shoulder complex and its impact on movement, stability, and force transfer

• Use imagery and movement strategies to guide riders toward greater awareness, efficiency, and feel

• Receive mentorship from expert educators and engage in live sessions, practice teaching, and discussion

• Graduate with the confidence and certification to deliver biomechanically-informed, rider-centered coaching that supports long-term progress

This program is ideal for trainers looking to expand their expertise and become recognized leaders in rider biomechanics and functional movement education.

• "Shoulder Freedom and Rein Clarity"
  Description:
  In this clinic, riders learn how shoulder organization directly influences the feel, steadiness, and precision of their rein contact. Through movement based exercises and embodied anatomy, participants explore how to free the scapula, balance the arms, and maintain a consistent connection that follows the horse without gripping or collapsing.

  "Elastic Arms, Soft Elbows: Following the Horse’s Motion"
  Description:
  This clinic focuses on how the arms absorb and adapt to the horse’s head and neck movement through each stride. Riders learn to develop elastic stability rather than fixed contact so they can follow the motion with quiet, responsive elbows and hands. The result is a smoother, clearer line of communication that the horse can trust.

  "Chest, Ribs, and Shoulder Mechanics in Riding"
  Description:
  Designed for riders who struggle with tight shoulders, collapsing ribs, or overactive upper body effort. This clinic guides participants in creating rib lift, balanced chest organization, and coordinated shoulder mechanics that support steadier hands and a more stable rein connection. Riders learn how upper body organization influences the horse’s balance and comfort in the contact.
