Centered Riding®

Centered Riding is an innovative way of expressing the classical principles of riding, using body awareness, centering, and imagery. Centered riding encompasses all seats and styles of riding. It teaches a language that allows clearer communication between horse, rider, and instructor.

Centered Riding is based on a knowledge of human and horse anatomy, balance, movement, and an understanding how the mind affects the body and how both affect the horse. It uses centering and grounding techniques from the oriental martial arts, along with body awareness, mental imagery and sports psychology. Through increasing body awareness, inhibiting old patterns, and replacing them with a more balanced, free, and coordinated use of self, both horse and rider can move more freely and comfortably, and develop their best performance.
