From Annette Willson (Rider, Physiotherapist and Pilates Educator)

I can teach you to ride with skill confidence and talent. I taught myself. I used to be a sloppy unbalanced rider. I hated it. I developed this program for myself because I hated bouncing at the trot and getting poor comments in my dressage tests. I had a poor riding posture and was not effective with my aids.

I watched the top riders and used my education as a Physiotherapist to train myself to have an effective strong seat in the saddle. I practiced my exercises out of the saddle and then applied the strength and learned movement patterns on my horse. I went onto compete up to international level in 3 day eventing. My dreams where achieved.

As I improved I was asked over and over “Who is teaching you”? Who are you getting lessons from? I said I taught myself. I did have lessons at times.

I was then asked for lessons and asked HOW do you stay balanced and still in the saddle. I decided to write it all down.

I have changed the format by demand from riders.

The E-book, Applied Posture Riding has been hugely popular but due to demand the program is now packaged and included as a free bonus into a DVD in conjunction with the E-book. The information from both is invaluable.

We all know riding is not as easy as the experts make it look. It is difficult to keep your balance and be effective with your aids. It is so hard to stay upright and look good in the saddle.

Of all the paces the sit trot; it is the most difficult movement to perform dignified and well. You can learn this skill.

Most riders bounce in the saddle, their legs flap against the horses’ side, their hands cling to the reins for balance and they tilt forward.

Many riders have difficulty keeping an upright posture through transitions and keeping their seat in the saddle at the canter.

When giving an aid, they bend their wrists, look down and lean forward. Their heels come up, their lower back stiffens. Their horse drops his shoulder, throws his head up and tightens his back.

Does this sound like your daily riding session?

Do you repeat this routine without improving because you don’t know how to fix it?

WHY AM I QUALIFIED TO TEACH YOU HOW TO RIDE BETTER

Why should you buy this program?

READ ON

I have been a highly successful competitor in eventing and dressage. I have competed successfully up to international level and was a member of the South Australian Olympic training squad.

Annette During Her Competition Days

I am a horse riding instructor having instructed 100s of riders using my unique techniques and physiotherapy knowledge. I have a Masters of Physiotherapy. I am a Pilate’s educator. I practice what I preach with proven results.

I began my riding career with all the problems I see in my pupils. I spent $100s on lessons. I could not achieve the level of riding I was aiming for. My instructors could not help me.

I used my knowledge of physiotherapy to develop a specific group of exercises based on the Pilates concept and applied them solely to horse riders.

I understand how to use specific muscle groups to feel and move with the horse. I know which parts of the body need more strength and which parts need more flexibility.

I teach this off the horse and then in the saddle. I call these physio riding lessons.

Read about the individual case studies from past followers

DO YOU SUFFER FROM POOR POSTURE?

In the left picture you can see the typical slumped shoulder posture. In the right picture we can see a better more upright posture.

Many people, including horse riders have poor basic standing posture and poor muscle control. This will be duplicated in the saddle, stopping riders achieving a stable, coordinated deep seat.

Are you under an Instructor and does your instructor use the following terms
Over and over and over each lesson?

• Look up
• Shoulders back
• Relax your back
• More leg
• More seat
• Keep your legs still, keep your body upright
• Apply more leg
• And so on.

 Riding instructors CANNOT help you with these problems.

Examine the photos here, the two photos on the left show poor upper body strength, both in standing and in the saddle. The two photos on the right demonstrates good upper body strength.

Poor Shoulder Posture	Good Shoulder Posture

DO YOU SUFFER FROM THESE PROBLEMS?

READ ON

• A forward head posture is a weakness in the neck flexors. This is a cause of headaches and a head wobble in horse riders. Especially at the sit trot.
• Round shoulders are due to weak shoulder blade muscles. Hence riders are unable to keep their shoulders back.
• Tight chest muscles result in a slumped posture and round shoulders.
• The abdominal muscles are the most important group of muscles for controlling the body’s core stability.
• The pelvis and lower back joints MUST be flexible to ride well.
• The hamstring muscles are mostly short and weak in the general population and in horse riders.
• Keeping the heels down requires long calf muscles.
• The long back muscles are essential for good horse riding posture.

   

A good rider has knowledge of their own body and posture.

If you know your weaknesses and strengths then you can fix yourself.

The Applied Posture Riding program will teach you how.

Wouldn’t it be nice for someone to say to you
