Private Lesson: Ann Montgomery

Service Description

Private 1-hour one-on-one lessons with Ann Montgomery. These are available whilst she is visiting the region on her ANZ East Coast Tour in May/June 2025. (Cost includes indoor arena hire.) These lessons can either be ridden or in-hand or a mix of both. Work on how your posture and movement influence your horse with this 1-hour individual coaching session. What to Expect: Detailed Biomechanics: Understand the movements and functions of both horse and rider. Hands-On Learning: Gain practical insights through direct guidance and assistance. Balanced Movement: Learn to balance your body and synchronize with your horse for a harmonious riding experience. Breathing Techniques: Learn how your breath can influence your position and techniques to improve posture, movement, and confidence. Timing of the Aids: Start to understand how to time your aides. The timing of the aids is the absolute secret to good riding and communication with your horse. Experience the power of in-hand work in your individual, one-hour coaching session. Why In-Hand Training? In-hand work goes beyond basic groundwork, offering a more refined approach to developing your horse's movement patterns, balance, posture, and strength. This method allows your horse to grow mentally and physically without the weight of a rider. What You'll Gain: Equipment Insights: Discover the best tools for in-hand work and understand their advantages and disadvantages. Optimal Positioning: Learn the ideal way to position yourself for effective in-hand work. Enhanced Communication: Improve your ability to read and respond to your horse's signals. Heightened Observation Skills: Sharpen your awareness of your horse's movements, posture, and body language. Lightness in Cues: Teach your horse to respond to subtle cues, enhancing your connection. Stronger Relationship: Build a deeper bond with your horse through improved communication and mutual understanding.
