Mounted observation sessions at your barn are combined with on-the-ground sessions in Melocco's office. Melocco can introduce you to the balance process before you ride, observe your body postures in motion, then help you work toward your riding goals.
ATNR may make it difficult for you to apply right and left cues at the same time, causing you and your horse to feel frustrated! Riding with the reflexes means being aware of what your body is doing by "default" and learning ways to relax and choose to move with precision and fluidity. Which of these reflexes are "active" for you as you ride? TLR may encourage your arms to draw up when you look down, causing you to easily feel unbalanced in the saddle. Quantity discounts available when you order more than 15 sets- email for details. Choose from photos of the movements shown on horseback or shown on the ground (photographed at Red Rocks, CO). The set of over 20 photos come spiral bound so that you can have a new exercise handy as you ride. Help your riding students remember calming exercises or use movement as you ride. Melocco teaches how you can gain control of your body and make your riding cues more effective no matter what your experience or discipline. You can learn the exercises that will help you and therefore your horse. Whether you have a fear of riding after a fall, or just want to make riding easier, combining Brain Gym with riding can help you accomplish your goals quickly and easily as described in The Whole Rider sessions, materials and coursework. When you move your body, you move your brain and can create new ways of thinking. Heidi has studied Brain Gym since 2000 and is also a Registered Therapeutic Riding Instructor and has coursework in Energy Medicine, and Rhythmic Movement Technique. Brain Gym is an educational program that uses simple movements to impact whole-brain learning and to integrate the developmental reflexes (the movements babies work through in order to learn new physical and mental tasks).
