An international FEI 2* and 3* showjumper, competing up to 1.55m, on why position work on the flat belongs in the jump arena too.
A body that wouldn’t “sit up”, fear and flight responses, and three children later, a belief in what she can do in the saddle.
A rider with a toolkit of her own, on fixing her habits instead of looking to the horse: "I just need to stop blocking him!"
A dressage rider in pursuit of a quieter seat, on learning to feel her own body again without being judged.
Once I visualised the breath moving in and out, it all slowed down. I became very connected with the saddle and the horse.
