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. (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.
