The Cohesive Rider Course

 

Developing the Athlete: The HOW to do WHAT, WHEN, and WHY

 

Transform Your Ordinary Horse into an Extraordinary Athlete

A mentor of mine once said, "There's nothing more rewarding than helping an ordinary horse become extraordinary."

I'd add this: Helping YOU do that with YOUR own equine partner is even more rewarding.

Stop Guessing. Start Building.

You want to develop your horse or mule into a powerful, balanced athlete—but the confusing terminology and lack of a clear roadmap keeps holding you back.

The Cohesive Rider Course gives you exactly what you need: A systematic, principle-based approach that teaches you HOW to do WHAT, WHEN, and WHY.


What You'll Learn:

  • Foundation: Basics, anatomy, asymmetries, and quality connections
  • Gymnastic Development: Flexions, counter-bends, thoracic sling work, and straightness
  • Lateral Movements: Shoulders-In and Haunches-In (the foundation of all advanced work)
  • Collection & Refinement: Transitions, pirouettes, rein-back, and the canter

8 Progressive Modules that unlock as you complete each one, building your skills systematically.


Course Includes:

✓ Written handouts (PDFs)
✓ Audio lessons (listen during barn chores!)
✓ Video demonstrations on multiple horses
✓ Worksheets and exercises
