Aligned Rider Retreat

About this class

Rider Biomechanics • Clarity • Connection 📍 On our peaceful farm in Suffolk Join me for a relaxed, supportive camping weekend retreat for you and your horse, set in the heart of the Suffolk countryside. This retreat is designed for riders who want to improve their riding by improving their own body - without pressure or competition. You’ll stay on our lovely farm in your horse box or tent, bringing your horse with you and enjoying time to slow down, learn, and reconnect. Over the weekend, we’ll focus on rider biomechanics - how your posture, balance, mobility, and tension directly influence your horse’s way of going. Through a combination of ridden sessions, off-horse movement work, and practical workshops, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to support your horse’s movement rather than restrict it. Expect: ~ Small, thoughtful sessions focused on how your body affects your horse ~ Simple, rider-specific exercises you can take home and use immediately ~ Time to ride, reflect, and ask questions without rushing ~ A calm, friendly atmosphere where progress is about understanding, not pushing This retreat is ideal for adult amateur riders who: ~ Want clearer, more comfortable riding ~ Feel their body might be limiting their horse ~ Don’t want an intense clinic environment ~ Value learning in a relaxed, real-world setting ~ Evenings are spent unwinding on the farm - sharing food, conversation, and quiet Suffolk skies - while horses settle nearby in a peaceful, familiar setup. You’ll leave with: ~ A better understanding of your own biomechanics ~ Practical tools to improve balance, stability, and connection ~ A clearer sense of how to help your horse move more freely ~ A refreshed mindset and renewed confidence ~ No frills. No pressure. Just good horses, thoughtful riding, and time to learn - together. (Horse accommodation will be small individual paddocks with hay)
