Balance Seat Riding Instructor & Trainer

What is balance seat riding?

Balance seat is an all-purpose seat, which encourages riding by balance rather than strength or force. Based on a modified dressage seat, balance seat encompasses riding on the flat as well as jumping and cross-country riding.

How can balance seat lessons help me?

Balance seat lessons can help you become a more effective rider by teaching you how to control you breathing, vision, posture and mental imaging. This will allow you to ride in a relaxed and balanced manner in any style saddle, using any rein handling technique. Balance seat riders learn how to establish a harmonious physical interaction with their horse, rather than a "perscribed show ring seat."
