A Whole Differ­ent Breed

Riding Lessons Unlike Any Other...

Did you know that riding lessons programs can be one of the most lucra­tive busi­ness prac­tices involv­ing hors­es? This is because the tradi­tion­al model riding program main­tains students for years with little or no progress forward! The aver­age rider never progress­es beyond 2nd level dres­sage move­ments. The aver­age horse will only make it to 1st or 2nd level dres­sage before the demands on them phys­i­cal­ly, mental­ly and emotion­al­ly stall them.

Why? That is a ques­tion whose answer is very unfor­tu­nate. The aver­age riding instruc­tor has no formal train­ing or prior expe­ri­ence in a teach­ing envi­ron­ment before they start teach­ing riding, and most will never achieve any educa­tion direct­ly relat­ed to teach­ing and instruct­ing. Since the aver­age eques­tri­an will not progress beyond 2nd level, we can surmise that the aver­age riding instruc­tor has only obtained the skills need­ed to reach 2nd level but not beyond.

If you have been in a riding lesson before you will be famil­iar with the pres­ence of common phras­es being repeat­ed over and over, such as "heels down," "shoul­ders back," "more forward," "sit deep­er," etc. There is a reason that the qual­i­ty of horse­man­ship today is so poor, but not for a lack of invest­ment on the part of students.

This is precise­ly where Aware­ness In Riding's lesson program differ­en­ti­ates itself from the 'compe­ti­tion.' We promote riding in such a way that is not endless­ly repeat­ing and push­es you beyond the 'aver­age' status (even beyond Grand Prix move­ments!). Here's a break­down of what you can find in our riding lesson program, how does it compare with your current program?
