Greetings Carmelo! If you’re not nearby, there’s an easy way I can help you without you having to travel all the way to Connecticut.
I offer lessons over the internet. There are advantages and disadvantages to this instruction, but I have clients who are delighted with the process. With internet lessons, you have a “road map” to follow as you train your horse and develop as a rider. A written lesson also allows you to refer to your lesson at a later date, and track your progress.
With an internet lesson, I can’t give you immediate, in-person feedback and signal the moment that it comes together with a “did you feel that?” comment that can help you remember what you did and why it worked. But with an internet lesson, you receive feedback tied to a specific time in your video, and you can see yourself while absorbing your instruction at the same time. This benefits serious riders.
Here’s how it works: You send me a CD, or post a video online, 30 minutes or under, since I don’t need to see warmup or cool down. I watch the video and create a written lesson that tells you what I see and gives you concrete suggestions and methods of achieving your goals. I address your position from a biomechanics perspective, discuss your aids and their application, and recommend training exercises. My instruction is tailored to you and your horse. I don’t have a “program,” because every rider and every horse is different, and your goals are yours. My only job as an instructor is to help you achieve them.
I charge $70 per lesson, payable in advance through Paypal. I will usually send your lesson by email within a week of receiving your video. I’m available for follow-up by email as well, to answer any questions you might have.
I’ll send you an email, so we can connect and follow up off-blog.
