The content referring to balance on the horse, is also so fundamental

It’s a really simple way to become aware of fundamentals. How you are in your body and how you use your body. The ideas given to help perceive our own balance are easy and practical. I liked the separation and therefore emphasis on physical vis a vis mental/emotional. The content referring to balance on the horse, is also so fundamental that I felt it starts a process of opening my eyes and mind to a larger picture.
In the end through trying some movements that are key to sitting on a Horse, the impact of me on others/horse was lifted out clearly. That is really valuable in so many ways, starting with my relationship to my horse from his back.

Improvement all around

I can truely confess thanks to Desiree’s input, riding actually makes me feel better and more relaxed.

I am even trimming my own Horses feet, without any physical issues, and my horses love it! We are even doing more than basic dessage moves, without any protests!

Wonderful

It is unbelievable what we (Picobello and I) have achieved through your lessons: This ease of process – warm up in 10 minutes and off you go – this looseness in both of us – this load capacity, bending of the hand and momentum – this almost slow-motion galloping – a real pleasure!

A lightbulb moment

Desiree’s approach is relaxed, creating a positive and welcoming atmosphere. One of the most standout aspects she has taught me over the years is to be more body aware, as every little change and movement in our body has an effect on the horse. To help you achieve this, Desiree paints the most beautiful pictures, which you can refer back to, weeks after the lessons.

Desiree begins where horse and rider connect

Desiree´s work starts where the vertebrae of two mammal connect. At first it is almost ridiculously easy, with unusual exercises like the “wiggly-waggly”, cycling backwards and singing in all gaits. This already makes every rider who is too much in his head, and every scared rider stumble upon the first aha moment.

Bounty is fortunate! We are fortunate!

We found Desiree in the last couple of years where everything just seems to just fit.

Full body control

We are now fans. Regardless of whether you are a recreational or tournament rider, or your riding style, Desiree picks up everyone individually, encourages and challenges in a very friendly, but also efficient manner.
