Hi there,
First i would like to thank Heather for the three days we spent at her place. It was fantastic! As a nervous novice (and mature!) rider, I was extremely worried about looking a complete prat. However after being assessed and corrected on the Equisimulator for a fairly short session I was riding the lovely Millie -in the correct position! I really couldnt believe it when i saw myself on video. What really shocked me was how simple it was once you are shown how to absorb the movement of the horse. I really wanted to let people know how worthwhile it is. If I can do it anyone can, honest!
Thanks again Heather.

ps Squeezing the muscles together in your seat has worked on every horse in the school that weve tried it on - onlookers think were casting spells on them!
