This course and ongoing Pilates has made and continues to make a huge difference in my own body and how I ride. I think the most important lesson has been in self and body awareness. As a relatively fit and active person I never really paid any attention to my body, expecting it to perform no matter how I supported it (or not) But the biggest mind blowing eye opener only came when I realized just how much my body, how every tiny movement affected another sentient being. I started riding late (in my 40s) and spent years relying on my legs and my hands for go, turn, bend and most importantly stop! To suddenly feel Your horse back up just by engaging your core, to effortlessly side pass to exactly the spot you want to go to just by engaging one panel/side – magic! Thank you Amy and Tracey!!
