Magnetic? What the… ? We clean up what’s BEHIND your perfect riding seat and teach you how to make the deep security of that EFFORTLESS.
First draft for Paula. This wants more thought! It’s more to give you an idea of what I actually do to achieve these dramatic improvements.
If you’ve never experienced one of Jenny’s live seminars, you’re in for a treat with this special bonus for the On-line Fair. Register your email to join this FREE live riding lesson on Zoom.
There’s a riding position that I call “connecting heaven and earth in the saddle” that is LITERALLY sucked into the saddle like a magnet. You’ll see what I mean in a minute and have the chance to experience it for yourself in our upcoming Live Seminar.
It’s a joyful feeling to be so deeply connected to our horse’s back. And it feels good to our horse too.
Taking you off your horse to learn this riding position, so that you can totally focus on yourself, is the secret ingredient for such a dramatic change. THEN you can flow that seat onto your horses back.
We teach the riding seat initially in a chair like Donna above or on something like a 44 gallon drum like Jeremy coming up – where the person can completely focus on themselves and the feeling of their body as it slides into the perfect riding seat. When they’ve re-programmed that into their brain and muscles, then we take the security of that lovely foundation out to their horse.
Let me repeat that because it’s at the heart of why this way of learning is FAST.
“When they’ve re-programmed their perfect riding seat into their brain and muscles”. That means you don’t have to practice, or repeat the same thing over and over again to achieve a lovely riding seat. This is how come we can call this way of learning FAST.
“Without practicing or even thinking about it, the riding position has become automatic – kind of cool, as most things I have to repeat and work hard at, before it becomes a habit.”
That’s Sandra Hagan campdrafting with Ghabbi, a very versatile OTTB, photo by Sally Jane Photography. Did you notice she said “without practicing”? Not needing to practice this is normal. This way of learning makes your new riding seat effortless.
Check out the photos above and below – when you push on someone in their perfect riding position, it just drives their seat bones deeper into the saddle. In that top photo I’m really pushing and Jeremy’s body is just … mannn it’s hard to find the words to describe what it feels like… it’s kind of spongey as the spine and joints take up the pressure of the movement. You’ll see student stories on the blog – they’re so connected that they flow with their horse easily, even when something unexpected happens – even beginner riders.
Valezka wrote to me so excited after her first trail ride ever. “My seat was still glued in and my body naturally flowed with her and we stayed together. This was my very first shy on any horse.”
Imagine what it would be like to find the security of a perfect riding seat so easily?
Above is Jeremy’s first time on a horse EVER and I still can’t push him out of the saddle. Like it does with pretty much everyone with these unique lessons, the rest of his body flowed effortlessly into a lovely riding position on Bobby’s back just from the way we had programmed his brain and muscles on the 44 gallon drum the day before. The harder I push on him, the deeper into the saddle he goes. (I don’t want to push too hard in this instance, that’s a live horse under there!)
Your horse LOVES this beautiful, deeply connected seat where your body can “talk” to your horse. We’ve perfected teaching this no matter where you are in the world.
Not only does the horse love the stability of this riding position because the security of it is so much more comfortable for their back, the rider’s ability to communicate with their body is clear and gentle and effective – and horse’s love that clarity too. From that stable base, our horse can learn to flow with our body movements without the contradictory signals of seat bones pointed in one direction, legs and hands in another, or the tension or “over-riding” that disconnects you from your horse. If you don’t know what I mean by over riding, come into this free live seminar and experience it for yourself.
Imagine what the security of this riding seat does for nervous riders?
Every lesson with me is an experience that short cuts learning – it’s a unique cross between a deep reverence for the horse, advanced sports psychology, alternative therapy, re-programming the brain and muscles and my phenomenal Feel for both people and horses. We create a new normal really fast.
Fast… Effortless… Effective… Gentle… Feel good…
Let’s get into some people’s stories to fill out the picture:
Kristine Nesbitt, a double world reining champion said that what she got from one session with me was bigger than her world championships. (You can listen to the audio of that interview on the blog.) She was in a chair 14,000 kilometers away when we worked together. With our trademark “off the horse” lesson, just like you can experience in this upcoming live seminar, she cleaned up a stuck spot in her riding that had been causing problems for months. When she got back in the saddle after the session, a seriously difficult horse was no longer difficult – but bigger than that, she resolved a life long confidence issue. Yes – double world champion and she cleaned up a life long confidence issue.
Mary McNerney wrote to Mark at Horseconscious after I’d done a live seminar for his students and Mark kindly forwarded it to me:
AMAZING! Just had a teleconference session with Jenny Pearce and there’s no other word to capture the dramatic shift I’m experiencing in my body and in my riding.
I love the way she works with people, not from a ‘my way is the way, so follow me’ attitude, but through an open and exploratory approach which suits each individual at whatever level they may be and with whatever issue they may need assistance addressing, whether it be in riding, communicating with a horse, doing healing work on a horse, helping to resolve an issue with the herd, or whatever.
If you want to help your horse with his skills under saddle, start here first in a session with Jenny. It will help you in becoming more fluid, balanced, and expressive in your own body which in turn benefits your horse sooo much.
The way she works with you is light-years ahead of the traditional riding instruction!
Tension from old falls disconnects your seat from your horse.
Another specialty here, is eliminating the tension from old falls and accidents – the tension of which disconnects our riding seat from our horse’s back and gets in the way of the beautiful communication with our bodies.
Feel it now while you’re reading. Tense your butt just a little and feel how that perches you above your chair instead of in it. It’s a recipe for the next fall off our horse when we’re that disconnected from their back. It’s a common reason for even riders on the world stage to eventually lose their nerve. And it’s totally fixable.
Some of these old falls and accidents are closer to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder than just a fright. In this video Leanne is talking about the results of clearing away the effects and tension of PTSD from a 20 year old accident in the video below. She was positively joyful in this simulation session – two years of weekly psychotherapy on and around the same issue hadn’t noticeably reduced the debilitating fear and tension from that terrible accident. You’re watching Leanne on my vaulting horse made from a 44 gallon drum that we call Magic – because magic happens on Magic. 🙂 You can achieve the same results in a chair.
This works no matter where you are in the world.
Karen was in the USA when she had her lesson and also wrote to Mark at Horseconscious
I really enjoyed the webinar presentation by Jenny Pearce on April 13th. I was quite intrigued by Jenny’s ability to not only connect with a participant through the internet for the lesson presented but also by the validation that was given back to Jenny in relation to riding a horse with lightness. I took advantage of Jenny’s special offer for the on-line lessons as well as a private session. I wasn’t quite sure what I could possibly get out of the session since it would be via the internet but I felt I had nothing to loose. My desire was to find a way to remove fear from the equation for me to learn how to ride in a safe and fun way.
I’m still in awe as to how Jenny could tap into my energy field and be so acutely aware of the small changes I was making with my body as we sorted things out for me to find a “natural seat” without muscle tension. Jenny is gifted in her ability to connect with others. (p.s. It’s a practical learned thing, not specially gifted – we can teach you the same thing. Back to Karen…)
If you have ever experienced an energetic shift with buried emotions, feelings, and fears being released along with the “clearing” out phase for the transition to occur, then you will understand the dramatic changes that occurred for me. I found a new meaning to “soft eyes” and the tremendous influence it was having on my body. I became deeply aware of multiple body parts I thought were relaxed yet were actually holding onto significant muscle strain and mental stress. By the time our session ended, I felt a huge weight lifted off my body, my energy was flowing, and my mental clarity was enhanced. My personal experience was more than I expected in terms of unlocking the key to gaining comfort, closeness and connection with my horse. Since our session I’ve had many consistent, joyous moments with my horse and multiple breakthroughs of learning for both of us, especially teaching her new exercises.
Little did I know, the session would focus more on me and what my body was speaking than it would be about working with my horse. However, I’ve often read “if you want changes in your horse, then you need to work on changing yourself first”. I truly experienced the quietness and awareness of breathing, the power of soft eyes, the subtle ways of increasing the comfort zone and much more insight that has greatly enhanced my relationship and partnership with my horse. Most important, I found a way to address fear issues, whether mine or my horse’s, that allows each of us to return to a safe and comfortable space of being.
I’m extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Jenny and I attribute my recent success to our session together. Anyone looking for a deeper relationship within themselves, especially concerning fear, that could possibly be interfering with their connection to their horse, would truly benefit from working with Jenny.
