Everyone meets in the same School My Horse group, regardless of which block they have chosen. This creates a rich learning environment where we can follow different horses, questions and stages of development together.
Choose One of Five Blocks
Block 1 – Relationship and Basic Communication
Build a safe and trusting foundation for everything that follows.
You will explore presence, inner balance, grooming, walking together, leading and basic horsemanship. You and your horse begin to develop a shared language through body language, direction, pressure, release and pause.
The focus is on helping both horse and human feel safe in themselves, with each other, in the environment and in the task.
Block 2 – Groundwork & Lungeing
Develop the shared language from stillness into movement and from working close to the horse to communicating at a greater distance.
You will explore flexion, bend, spinal shaping, the release of the lower jaw, weight distribution, tempo, rhythm, energy, balance and the placement of the horse’s forehand and hindquarters.
The work includes larger and smaller circles, transitions and gymnastic exercises such as shoulder-in, travers, renvers, diagonal travers and half-pirouettes.
Block 3 – Work In Hand
Learn to “ride the horse from the ground.”
You will work close beside the horse and use your body position, reins and whip to communicate the aids. The horse learns to stay within a clear but living framework without leaning on the handler.
The aim is to develop bend, balance, self-carriage and a feeling of moving together like a dance. The work includes straight, curved and diagonal lines, corners, circles and lateral exercises.
Block 4 – Basic Riding: Balance and Shaping
Bring the shared language into the saddle.
The foundation is an independent, balanced seat. You will learn to follow the horse’s movement, become aware of your own breathing and the horse’s breathing, and feel the regular rhythm of walk, trot and canter.
Intention, body weight and inner shaping become your primary aids. The secondary aids help clarify your body’s communication while giving the horse enough space to perform the movement.
You will also explore balance and shaping through larger and smaller circles, curved lines and connection to the outside rein.
Block 5 – Gymnastics, Strength and Transitions
Develop the riding towards greater coordination, strength, balance and self-carriage.
You will learn to guide the forehand, hindquarters and the horse’s whole body with increasing precision. The work includes circles, squares, figures of eight, diagonal lines, lateral movements, half-pirouettes and changes of tempo.
Transitions between and within the gaits are used to improve attention, balance and strength. As understanding grows, the secondary aids can become smaller and the conversation between horse and rider increasingly refined.
Video Submission and Feedback
Between the Zoom meetings, you practise with your horse within your chosen block.
Before each meeting, you may submit a short video clip of your work. These clips form the basis for personal feedback, practical guidance and ideas for your next step.
The purpose is not to present perfect work. Your video is a living part of the learning process—a way for us to see where you and your horse are now, understand your questions and support your development.
