If you watch riders from the Royal Portuguese School of Equestrian Art, The Spanish Riding School or the best riders in Working Equitation, you can see how beautifully their horse responds to their most subtle aids.  They seem totally at one with their horse and the slightest shift of their weight can change the direction or movement of their horse.

The term ‘weight aids’ refers to how you are using your weight in the saddle. Your weight aids are controlled with subtle movements of your pelvis which shift your weight in a way that communicates a certain instruction to your horse. However unless you have a balanced seat to start with, inadvertently applied weight aids can confuse your horse and actually countermand your rein or leg aids.

PI (our electronic horse) is an excellent tool for teaching you about seat and weight aids. The four delicate sensors and carefully positioned cameras show your balance and alignment and the screen in front of you allows you to see where your weight is and how adjusting your position just slightly can affect the way your horse goes.

Because good weight aids require such small adjustments of your body it is often hard for an instructor to be able to spot if you are doing it correctly when you are riding your own horse (particularly if your horse isn’t naturally balanced), which is why PI is such a perfect tool to help you learn.

PI has no natural asymmetries that might counter your movement and you can see on the large screen when you are doing it right. You will learn how to ride a straight line and circles on your weight alone and time permitting, your session will finish with a fun virtual dressage test, ridden on your seat and weight aids!

Each Session will be 60 mins and Cost £60 per person
