Have you been told to "make your horse round", "more forward", "put your leg under you", "put your shoulders back", "sit down", "sit up" etc. without being told HOW? A look at rider bio-mechanics might give you some answers. Becoming aware of body position, 'checks' you can do to figure out awareness of position, and WHY it is beneficial to make certain adjustments all provide answers to HOW to make movements happen.
I often take photos and video during sessions. This can be very helpful in seeing the visual and often a rider is not even aware that they are crooked, leaning or otherwise not balanced.

Horse-man-relationship- is what horsemanship is about.
Having a partnership with a horse is about trust and respect. What makes a dance between partners beautiful is that one partner is leading with clear communication: what the steps are, what is coming next, and the tempo that is set. Are you able to take the responsibility of this lead role? If not, your horse has no choice but to take the lead.
This weekly group program is focused on developing clear communication with the horse. Lesson horses are available or an owner may also bring their own horse to this group. The program involves free lunging, lunging on a line, yielding the hindquarters and shoulders, and join-up (connection). An agility course is set up monthly where skills can be tested.

Pamela offers classical training technique which provides a solid foundation that can be applied to any riding discipline. A limited number of horses is available for lessons; a dressage saddle will be used with the lesson horses. Groups are 90min. including 15min. tack-up, warm-up time. Privates are 60min.
Group lessons are preferred, we learn a lot through watching others, the social interaction is rewarding, provides a support network, and the horses are more relaxed not being the center of attention for a full hour, being herd animals there is comfort for them too.
weekly groups: $160 a month due at beginning of month.
