"The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears."
Arabic Proverb

 

 

Which brings me to the serious question: Are  riders armed with sufficient anatomical knowledge and awareness to ensure they train their horse without pain or blame? I have spent the last 26 years seeking out what I consider to be the most effective training tools available today in order to synchronize:

  1. Schooling the rider

  2. The biomechanics of crookedness

  3. Fitting the saddle ergonomically allowing for asymmetry in horse and rider.

We all deserve success and it is my quest to give  riders natural stress free, excellence and happiness as they journey with their horse.

At last after only 3 lessons with Joni, a lifetime of unanswered questions, misguided tuition, lame horses and an aging body….I have found the skills to retrain my body to become symmetrical (even though it thinks it already is), which miraculously is straightening my horses without gadgets or force, giving the feeling of true harmony. What a find!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never lose hope, I nearly did! Kathy Young Woburn Sands, Buckinghamshire UK.

NLP for horse riders: When nervous riders use NLP they learn how to be master of their own mind and emotions, and melt phobias and nerves into confidence and joy. NLP puts you in control of your brain. Only when we take responsibility for our own mind and actions can we communicate fully, and live in harmony with our fellow creatures living on this earth.

 Ergonomic saddle fitting: It is frightening to see how much pain our horses are suffering through badly designed and fitted saddles. To give horse and rider complete comfort, ease of movement while performing to their optimum, the saddle must fit ergonomically. It must also deal with asymmetry in horse and rider. For the last 10 years Joni Bentley has used her experienced eye to produce a saddle that complements the postural needs of both horse and rider.
