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!)
