About this class

🎓 Academy Member Webinars with Meg 🗓 1st Wednesday of each month at 8pm on Zoom (Exclusive to Academy Members) Join Meg each month for a live, interactive webinar designed to help you deepen your understanding of rider biomechanics, mindset, and practical training theory. These sessions blend knowledge, discussion, and real-world application — helping you and your horse progress with clarity and confidence through the winter season. ❄️ Winter Season Dates & Topics 🗓 October 1st – The Rider’s Hands Discover the role of the outside rein and what true contact really means. We’ll explore how to create a consistent, forward-thinking connection, what contact feels like for the horse, and the training steps that build a soft, secure feel. 🗓 November 5th - The Rider’s Seat Building on September’s webinar, we’ll look at how the seat works through the foundational paces and transitions. Learn how your seat influences balance, rhythm, and communication — and how to refine it for clearer, lighter aids. 🗓 December 3rd - The Rider’s Leg We’ll dive into stirrup length, leg position, correct weight distribution, and effective leg aids. Should we wear spurs? How should the stirrup sit on the foot? Find out how to strengthen your leg position and improve its influence. 🗓 January 7th - Goal Setting Workshop Start your year with clarity and direction. This popular annual session will help you map out meaningful goals, structure your training, and set yourself (and your horse) up for success in the year ahead. 🗓 February 4th - Correct Biomechanics for the Horse Revisit what true correct posture looks like under saddle — and why it matters for every discipline. We’ll unpack common misconceptions about “outline,” discuss how to improve your horse’s way of going without force, and explore how alignment supports soundness and harmony. 🗓 March 4th - Tack & the Rider’s Biomechanics Your tack can either support or hinder your position. Learn how to recognise when it’s helping or holding you back, and how to make adjustments that enhance comfort and effectiveness for both horse and rider. 🗓 April 1st - The Child Rider Explore how position and balance evolve as children grow, and how to support young riders through each stage. Perfect for coaches, parents, and grandparents — learn how to build solid foundations in a fun, age-appropriate way that lasts a lifetime.
