BEFORE
Our client's horse Thunder at the start of a Chase the Dragon session during a Hatha Equus clinic:
poor forehand reach
no shoulder activation
hollow back
virtually no hind-end engagement
over-activated brachiocephalicus
forward head stretch
pole way above the whithers.
AFTER
Our client's horse Thunder at the end of a Chase the Dragon session during a Hatha Equus clinic:
forehand abduction
shoulder activation
lifted back
much deeper hind-end engagement
arched neck with upper neck muscles activation
head almost on the vertical
pole more in line with lumbar and whithers
Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
Your horse, being as hollow as he is...you are going to need more techniques to get him to lift his topline!
His gaits are so jerky and jackhammery that you're literally afraid you'll fall and hurt yourself. And bareback is out of the question. You are ready to do the hippiest thing to try to change the situation.
You've managed to put all of the "usual advice" together and miraculously achieve a temporary "fake" topline lift...that collapses as soon as any of your constant, complex aids comes off...this is VERY frustrating. You need to know more.
Your horse has feelings about the longeline. You'll need to go about this from a different angle, because there's no way he'll relax at the other end of a rope.
It's not your fault. The equestrian world is filled with outdated, one-size-fits-all teachings that ignore the nuanced communication between horse and rider (and frankly...they ignore science, too 🤷🏼♀️🧐). Chance is that if you're here, your horse is burned out on them.
Our journey mirrors yours—from confronting the limits of conventional wisdom to discovering a fun, science-backed approach that not only solves our problems, but also truly resonates with our equine partners.

Thanks to Hatha Equus, he's not just prepared for these challenges—he relishes them!
"Thanks to Hatha Equus, we've reached a point where Seven not only tolerates the saddle but actively seeks it out. His movements, once lackluster and uninspired, gain an entirely new dimension as soon as the challenge of carrying weight is introduced. It's nothing short of incredible, considering there was a time when getting Seven to accept any kind of tack seemed impossible.
Now, he's practically begging for the chance to prove his mettle, eager to demonstrate not just to others, but primarily to himself, the remarkable feats he's capable of.
Seven once labeled as 'lazy, overweight, and gluttonous,' is now the driving force behind our adventures into new, uncharted, and more demanding territories.He's not just prepared for these challenges—he relishes them".

Attainable by Every Horse
My journey began with a realization: despite their incredible athleticism, the top dressage horses I worked with seemed distant, their eyes expressing "having given up". This spurred me on a quest to bridge the worlds of competitive dressage and ethical horsemanship, ensuring that horses could be both athletic AND happy alongside their humans. I'm here to share this approach with you, demonstrating that natural dressage isn't just for the elite; it's a joyful, healthful practice attainable by every horse, promising a future where every ride is a shared adventure in happiness and health.

She Challenged Every Standard Approach I Knew
Facing my mustang's downhill build and deep-seated insecurity forced me to question and move beyond standard training approaches. Her imbalance and tension threatened to dismantle my vision of riding as a peaceful, meditative practice. Each session was a test of wills against her jitteriness and attempts to flee. I had to think outside the box at every turn. From this journey, I've honed playful and joyful strategies that have not only transformed my experiences in the saddle, but can also revolutionize yours. Let's embark on a path that turns riding challenges into opportunities for connection and joy!
