Beyond classic dressage and circus, there is a natural way to ride, it is not really a technique, it is more a certain awareness of the relationship between a human being and a horse.
The key is to understand the language of the dominant herd leader so that any horse will then follow you as the leader. The first steps are to connect to the horse in a free space and learn his language.
After that, riding becomes a joyful and great experience we share with the horse, riding together with him, playing with him and feeling secure and supported in our choices and decisions. We learn to lead with loose reins, with a bitless briddle and saddleless pad but a maximum feeling of sensations.
It is a mutual journey into the world of friendship and relationship, body awareness and open senses.
We teach you to have a perfect relaxed and balanced posture on the back of the horse.
Bare back riding is the most sensitive and holistic way to reach a mutual understanding between rider and horse.
