Yoga With Horses

Balance and flexibility exercises with, on and for horse. Improve your ability to identify and isolate which parts of your body need to work and which need to be quiet when when you sit the trot, do lateral work, ride smooth transitions and more (Click the titles for more information)

 

Why attend a clinic or work with Stacey? Here's one client's report of the results of just one lesson ...

"The things we worked on while I was with you last time really helped me make some significant strides in my riding - particularly improving my balance and center. It's kind of stupifying, actually. I crossed a threshold  with my new guy, Cato. He's much less accommodating than my other horses re:  lack of balance and centeredness. When I 'got it,' our saddle time transformed. He is now opening his throatlatch, holding a beautiful frame, and man - can that guy trot out! Thank you so much for giving me the aha! I needed to come back and work with my trainer. Last lesson, she had tears in her eyes!"

See something that interests you, but it's not on the schedule? Why not host a clinic at your public barn or home stable? We'll work with you to customize a session to your wants and needs. You can combine elements of most of the workshops listed above to shape your clinic experience to meet specific learning goals.

For example, what about a day that starts with basic bodywork horse owners can do for their animals and ends with mounted sessions where riders get to feel how much the bodywork helps the horse's movement and attitude? Or a morning of experimenting with balance and feel in the Horseless Riding Lesson, then taking those insights to the back of your horse for an afternoon of mounted exploration?
Contact Stacey to discuss the possibilities!
