Beyond modern, main-stream riding
Many riders and horse owners are seeking a more ethical and harmonious way to interact with their horses, in line with modern welfare standards and a desire for a deeper connection. Classical Riding offers precisely that, drawing upon the timeless wisdom of classical masters, both past and present.
In view of fairly recent cruelty cases which have been highlighted in the news, we all need to be aware of the 'social licence to operate'. Apart from the obvious benefits of classical training to ourselves and our horses, we need to show the general public that we are not all heartless individuals, in fact just the opposite.
What to expect
The initial foray into classical riding techniques is often an exhilarating revelation. You'll discover the ease of communicating with your horse through weight aids, understanding their natural responses to subtle shifts in balance. If you're already familiar with classical riding, prepare to deepen your knowledge through the teachings of true classicists, grounded in centuries of proven principles.
Three core principles
Classical Riding is more than just a riding style; it's an encompassing philosophy of kindness and mutual understanding between horse and rider.
It begins with mastering weight aids and understanding the delicate balance between horse and rider.
Remember, when things go wrong, it's usually the rider's error, but don't be discouraged. Learning involves mistakes, and your horse will forgive you.
