Simulator Mounted Workshops are hosted at Dream Ride Equestrian in Airdrie, Alberta
Live Mounted Workshops are all held at Eckwood Equestrian in Olds, Alberta.
Join me for two and a half days of equestrian immersion. Take your riding to the next level with Franklin Method® Equestrian. Train functional movement of the body in the saddle. Learn the language of the training aids, become a clear communicator with your horse and develop your feel. Train lateral work, suppleness, flexibility, balanced transitions to your horse.
Saturday and Sunday morning classroom sessions (9:00am-12:00pm) will focus on functional movement of the body, anatomy, imagery, dynamic alignment and how it all relates to riding. Not your ordinary classroom session, we will be moving around as we update our body schema.
Saturday and Sunday afternoon (1:00pm-6:00pm) will be the riding portion (hour and a quarter semi private), where we bring together the work from the classroom to the saddle with your horse. Franklin balls and bands are used to increase proprioception to the body in the saddle. Develop your feel to improve communication with your horse.
