Beautiful, subtle, delightful riding is available to every horse and rider - there's no need to have an expensive horse, or practise 20m circles for many years! Any sound horse and thinking rider can learn to ride in lightness and true self-carriage, and even to perform half pass, piaffe and passage.
This system of riding is based on the French Classical tradition, blended with "natural" methods. As each aid is perfected individually, the horse becomes a willing partner: responsible for his own body, supple, muscled and expressive.
Horses love this way of riding - they are never "held together" or restricted. They soon respond with pleasure to invisible aids, using just the weight of the reins and the very lightest touch of the leg.
(Please excuse the temporary showjumping picture! To be replaced soon with something more fitting. :-))
"Annabelle spoke of gaining a lightness of contact and softness from a horse you could only dream of, it would blow your minds when you got it. She did not lie, and we only probably got a small insight to what can be achieved if you work at it. But it was so easy! Once grasped you felt like shouting from roof tops!" - S, clinic participant
