- 9 Riders with a private lesson of 45 minutes each
- Video Feedback Session and Mini Workshop after every 3rd Horse/Rider combination have had their lessons – This helps riders have a clear understanding of where they need to improve. The changes a rider is asked to make throughout the lesson might feel unusual, but actually seeing their body position on the video will help to validate what they felt and give them a better chance of recalling that feeling in the future.
- During this time we examine the body alignment of the rider off the horse and practice specific exercises to improve areas of stiffness or weakness that are identified.
- 12 Riders with shared lessons of 1 hour each – 2 riders in a lesson.

- Assessment lessons are longer, lasting 1.5 hours and costing $110.
- 6 Riders with a private lesson of 45 minutes each in the morning & a shared lesson (2 in the lesson) of 40 minutes in the afternoon to consolidate what was learned in the morning.

Your First Assessment Lesson With Me
- Will be 1.5 hours, which is longer than future lessons so that we have time to gather information about each other.
- Will be assessing you to determine where you are up to and what our priorities will be.
- Will be partly videoed to show the starting point and finishing point of your lesson.
- After the lesson has finished (unmounted) we will review the video footage together and discuss the differences we can each see.
- This will be downloaded onto a DVD and given to you at the next lesson or posted out to you.
- You will be given a written report on the lesson to document what we’ve discussed.
- You may be given exercises to strengthen or stretch parts of your body, depending on your needs.
* If the lesson is at your venue, I need to have use of a TV so that I can connect it to the video camera and play the footage back.
