It’s here! I’m so excited to officially launch my new and improved website—completely designed with equestrians in mind. This isn’t just a refresh, it’s a complete paradigm shift in how riders can approach their equitation, their bodies, and their connection with their horses. My mission has always been to help riders move with their horses, not against them, and to provide sustainable tools that go far beyond the outdated cues of “plug-in your seat bones, just relax your hips, shoulders back, heels down, and just breathe.”

Here’s what you’ll find: Start your journey with the 5-Minute Rider Reset, a quick and powerful way to reconnect with your body before you hop into the saddle. From there, dive into the Pelvic Mobility Assessment, where you’ll consider your pelvic mobility, then be directed to the Pelvic Planes of Movement Course and learn how to transform your equitation by improving its mobility. You’ll also gain access to 30 Embodiments in 14 Months, a free series of bi-weekly embodied practices delivered straight to your inbox, each designed to target specific areas of equitation.

The site highlights my coaching philosophy, the power of hypopressives, summer retreats, clinics and the Total Self-Carriage fitness program—a world-class fitness package guaranteed to deliver real transformation and results in your riding.

You will also find a blog packed with actionable tools and insights to help you correct equitation issues in ways that truly resonate with you. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of Train Your Seat™️ embodied rider biomechanics or explore how to move in better harmony with your horse, this site is here to guide you every step of the way.

So, grab your favourite drink, explore the new site, and let me know what you think. I can’t wait to hear how these tools and resources help you on your riding journey!

Full weekend of learning and relaxing with the horses. This group was not afraid of weather. We learned about contact, the shoulder girdle, how different pressures act on the horses mouth. There was a simulator day, massage day workshops and loads of riding! Thanks for taking all the video Becky Taylor.

The contact, shoulder and arm retreat. We opened up the weekend with a simulator day, Friday, there was a massage therapist onsite to get riders moving their best, then Saturday and Sunday morning workshops, played with rein pressures, looked at shoulder anatomy, then put all into practice in the saddle. Thanks to all who made this retreat one of the best ones yet❤️

🐎💭 Imagery is a powerful tool in improving our body's movement, especially when it comes to the intricate workings of the hip joint in the saddle.

Ever wondered about the subtle sensation when the hip joint deepens in flexion during the walk? Does it feel balanced?

Try this: Imagine your pelvic half as a soft pillow. As your horse's hind leg on the same side is in swing phase, visualize the head of your femur tucking comfortably back into this pillow. This imagery can help you follow and allow the full range of movement in your horses back, and to better absorb force.

By visualizing this, we can enhance our understanding of our body's mechanics, leading to improved balance, timing and feel resulting in connection and harmony.

Give it a try on your next ride and feel the difference! 🐎💭
