EQUITUM COACHING SYSTEM
SEAT TRAINING
Seat training is part of ECS. The aim is to bring awareness to and illuminate the week links in your seat. With this information you will be able to make the necessary changes, and you and your horse can have a healthier life and perform better.
What?
​
Having a good seat is essential for a horse rider. When the seat is improved, your riding gets better and your teacher has an easier time giving you instructions. A good seat will enhance your horse´s balance, cause less wear and tear, and also make your aids more understandable for your horse.
​
Most of us know the seat is important but despite this knowledge we might not know what we need to do, to make the necessary changes. We listen to our trainer when they tell us to sit tall, lower our heals and keeping our gaze forward, and still we might not feel we get the progress we expect.
​
Many riders are unaware of how much an uneven seat will negatively affect the horse´s ability to perform (1)*.
Research shows that you can become a more symmetrical rider by training yourself off horse. Also , with just 1 hour specially designed rider training / week, you get a more symmetrical horse and that the horse's step length can increase by 8.4% in just 2 months (2)*.
How?
To achieve the best result, I work both with mounted and dismounted training within my system. I am not a replacement for your trainer. Your trainer is the expert on the communication between you and your horse. I, on the other hand, am the expert on you as a horse rider.
I collaborate with many trainers to achieve the best results.
The seat training I provide will identify and make you aware of the weak links in your seat and how you can correct them as well as and improve your dressage position. I will also give you the tools you need to help you resolve the problems on your own so you can reach the ultimate goal as a horse rider, -to be "as one" with your horse.
