Rider Biomechanics Mastery – The Rider Pathway

The Rider Pathway

Your step-by-step transformation to confident, balanced, and connected riding


Why the Rider Pathway?

Most lessons correct surface-level issues: your hands, your legs, your seat. But unless you build your riding on the right foundation, the same problems keep returning.

The Rider Pathway is a 6-stage, step-by-step system that develops your position, biomechanics, and connection with the horse from the inside out.

Instead of one-off lessons, you’ll follow a proven transformation journey that:
✅ Builds skills progressively (no more overwhelm).
✅ Includes feedback, live support, and a rider community.
✅ Gives you lifetime tools you can always return to.
✅ Serves as the official prerequisite for my Teacher Training Path.

This isn’t “just another riding course.”
It’s your pathway to mastery.


How It Works

  • Drip release: One stage unlocks every month → steady, achievable progress.

  • Duration: 6–12 months (depending on your practice pace).

  • Format:

    • Core video lessons, guided audio, and pocket guides.

    • Unmounted & mounted follow-along exercises.

    • Bi-weekly live calls for Q&A & video feedback.

    • Community forum for support & accountability.

  • Optional: Quarterly in-person weekend intensives (mounted + Joker simulator).


The 6 Stages of the Rider Pathway

1️⃣ The Seat Foundation

Find balance and alignment in the saddle.

  • Master the anatomy of pelvis & hips.

  • Discover your optimal stirrup & knee position.

  • Unlock hip mobility and correct pelvic posture.

👉 Outcome: A stable, balanced seat that sets the stage for everything else.


2️⃣ The Flow System

Absorb movement effortlessly, ride with harmony.

  • Learn biomechanics of force absorption & gravity.

  • Improve mobility in your feet and spine.

  • Sit the trot with ease.

👉 Outcome: You move with your horse instead of against them.


3️⃣ The Breath & Tone Method

Breathe, relax, and unlock true core stability.

  • Harness breathing to improve rhythm & calmness.

  • Train muscle tone & fascia systems for stability.

  • Transform fear into confidence through comfort-zone training.

👉 Outcome: A relaxed, supple rider that horses trust.


4️⃣ The Connection Principle

Build soft, elastic contact your horse loves.

  • Develop mobility in shoulders & upper back.

  • Understand rein contact & how tack affects it.

  • Teach your horse to seek a steady, elastic connection.

👉 Outcome: Hands that communicate with clarity, not force.


5️⃣ The Vision Path

Train your eyes, train your brain.

  • Discover how vision shapes learning & coordination.

  • Practice visual drills to improve awareness.

  • Use your eyes to ride straighter, smoother, and with more flow.

👉 Outcome: Faster learning, better coordination, and a clear riding focus.


6️⃣ The Balance Key

Find stability and coordination in every gait.

  • Explore your vestibular system (the brain’s balance center).

  • Improve coordination with mounted & unmounted drills.

  • Increase stability through better integration of body & brain.

👉 Outcome: Ride with balance that holds up under pressure.


Your Rider Journey

  1. Enroll & Begin → Start with a personal rider assessment (online or in-studio).

  2. Monthly Stage Unlocks → Work through videos, audios & exercises.

  3. Live Calls & Feedback → Stay on track, get your questions answered.

  4. Graduate with Confidence → Earn your Rider Pathway Certificate.

  5. Continue to Teacher Training (if you want to take the next step).


Who This Is For

✔ Riders who want lasting progress, not quick fixes.
✔ Riders who train 2–3x per week and want to get the most from each session.
✔ Riders who dream of teaching one day (Pathway is a prerequisite).
✔ Riders who want to feel confident, balanced, and in true harmony with their horse.


Enrollment Details

  • Start Date: Janury 2026

  • Duration: 6–12 months.

  • Format: Online + optional in-person intensives.
