These 1-Day courses have been running for some time and the combined energies of the three teachers (Sue NP, lunging and riding; Christine English, Alexander Technique and Sarah Merriam Pierce, Feldenkrais/Pilates) have produced some amazing breakthroughs. Each course focuses on a specific theme, (eg hands and contact, hips and pelvis) and enables riders to gain a greater understanding of how they affect their horses. Feedback forms included comments such as:

"No back pain - brilliant!"
"When is the next course?"
"The combination of exercises worked really well."
"It was amazing to make such huge changes in such a short time."

The morning programme features group sessions, first on horses in the indoor school with Sue and then in the comfort of the therapy room, some dismounted work. You learn a little about anatomy and how the body works and explore movement patterns and possibilities with Christine and Sarah. After a delicious lunch, the teachers work individually with each of you so that you can focus on specific problem areas.

The dismounted work enables you to make the changes that perhaps you have struggled with for years and this is especially evident when you ride again later in the day. It is equally fascinating to see the breakthroughs experienced by your fellow students and with only 6 students per course the group dynamics add an extra dimension which makes learning fun and easy.

Cost: £145 pp includes lunch (NB These courses have become very popular so book early!)
Arrow schoolmasters provided unless you wish to bring your own.

Additional private lessons are available with Christine and Sue on the previous day
