Find your flow — in and out of the saddle.
Whether you’re aiming to improve your position for seamless transitions during your dressage test, or just trying to feel more stable in the saddle out on the trail, this workshop is for you. Through expert-led demonstrations, you’ll explore the biomechanics of balanced riding and get hands on practice with guided floor-based exercises. You’ll build awareness, and learn how to improve your posture and stability, while strengthening your connection with the horse. No horse? No problem—this is all about you and your body’s relationship to the ride.

Community Potluck!
Nothing says community like a potluck. Breaking bread while building bridges, so to speak. This workshop will include a potluck, a chance to talk about what you are learning and share experiences. We'll supply a main dish. Please bring something to share with your neighbors along with your own plate and silverware!
