We have all dreamed of that magical relationship with a horse - a partnership and connection that inspires and challenges each of us to become more aware of ourselves and the horses in our lives.
Now your dreams can come true with the proven tips, techniques and tools that are featured in the highly acclaimed Horse and Rider Awareness® program.
You will learn how to “do it yourself” and become more aware of how your riding position, influence, and reactions affect a horse's balance and responses. As a result, your horse will quickly become more comfortable to ride and easier to influence!
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Have you ridden for (decades?) and wondered when you would at last feel like you really knew something? Did that last bit of knowledge always seem beyond reach? I rode seriously for decades and knew there must be something missing, but what? In lessons, words like "More leg!" didn't bring lasting results. Sure, I won lots of ribbons, but something was missing.
Who would have guessed when I somewhat disdainfully took a "free" lesson on "a barrel" that I would swallow my pride and ask, "When can we work again?" I discovered from Randi Thompson things that instructors had "hinted" of ("There is a lot more to using your legs than just squeezing," but in lessons we seemed never to get to that...), and opened new doors leading to more sensitive balance and communication, barriers I never realized existed. And the proof of the pudding? Months afterwards I am still making discoveries, because I am at last able to understand my horse's feedback.
When I rode with Col. Waldemar Seunig years ago, he said that all you need to learn to ride is "Geduld und Passion," patience and passion. You also need Randi Thompson, her unique ability not to teach you, but to open doors so you can teach yourself.
