Flowing Rider Program
Is It Really Possible For An Amateur Woman To Ride With Fluidity Without Years of Stretching, Fitness, Effort or Practice?
Yes! And You’re About To
Discover Exactly How,
Step-by-Step...
Why is it that some riders float effortlessly on their horse, while others are tense and crooked year after year - or worse - get stuck on the same riding plateau forever.
If you’ve ever struggled to ride with excellence and flow, this will be the most important letter you ever read.
I’m going to share with you exactly how to master the art of fluidity, but before I can, there are a few important questions for you to answer...
- Is there a part of you that remembers the ease of riding as a youth, but are frustrated because you no longer have the brain-body connection for flow and timing?
- Is your horse happy when someone else rides him, but unhappy when you do?
- Do you ever feel old from stiff and creaky joints and muscles, and it takes the whole ride to loosen up if you do at all?
- Do you ever wish you could stop overthinking and ride with relaxed attention so you can improve your scores?
- Are mounting and dismounting painful and worrisome that you may actually fall?
- Have you ever felt discouraged because you feel that the years have taken their toll on you so riding with fluidity just simply isn’t possible?
- Do you want to know how to ride with excellence, ease, and flow so you can enjoy a sense of accomplishment each and every ride?
Can Riding with Fluidity Really Be Taught???
The short answer: yes. For the past 7 years, I’ve been helping women riders master the invisible and highly prized riding qualities such as fluidity, ease, and flow. Plus, skills like relaxed attention, relaxed action, and balance. As a Guild Certified Feldenkrais PractitionerCM I’ve been able to help women move effortlessly without additional exercise regimens, stretching, or trainings.
Like many women riders, I returned to the saddle after years away. I rode as a young girl and when I took riding back up as an adult I quickly realized that the girl of my youth was now a mature woman in a very, very different body. Years of sitting at a desk, surgeries, sprained ankles, a broken arm... had me making compensations in my movement that made my riding awkward and crooked.
I signed up for more riding lessons. I gave my all, but my riding remained mechanical and stiff to the point that riding really just became an exercise in frustration. I was ready to quit again!
That’s when everything turned around...
How To Move Effortlessly With Your Horse
I learned there is a whole world beyond fitness and bio-mechanics when it comes to riding, I discovered a step-by-step system for effortless movement.
I went from complete inability to sit the trot to thinking nothing of it at all! All of a sudden I had quiet hands so my horse could soften and round. I could hardly believe it!
And it started to get people’s attention…
Other instructors wanted to know who I was riding with, some implied that I was an instructor (even though I wasn’t yet!) and they all wanted to know what my secret was.
Now, after helping hundreds of women over the past 7 years capture ease and flow on their horse, I can confidently tell you that if you're feeling frustrated and stunted in your riding, you're not alone. It’s completely normal.
In fact, from my work with women riders I know that there are 3 stages and 1 secret to be a flowing rider, when you don’t have them, keep you from fulfilling your dream of riding in a way that your horse loves and helps him do the job you are asking him to do.
Why Your Riding Isn’t Improving... Even Though You’re Taking Lessons, Working Out, Stretching, And Practicing All The Time...
Watching kids on any playground in the world shows how effortless we all moved at one time - going from running to skipping to hopping without a thought.
So what happened, where’d that girl go?
A life of high-heels, having babies, long commutes are daily practices that have cost our bodies dearly. Then there can be issues such as arthritis, surgeries, sprains and falls cause changes in our way of going, such as limping or straining…
The trouble comes in when this awkward way of moving becomes habit…. then we get into the saddle with this unproductive and undesirable habit and struggle to understand why there is such a huge gap between the way you ride and the way you want to ride.
Effort, fitness and practice are the common approaches to riding, but here’s why they are so ineffective, they do not get to the root cause of the problem, they do not teach how to create a way of riding that is effective and elegant. Doubt it? Check every book, watch every DVD, ask any instructor for a lesson in fluidity - I’m positive that you’ll not find a one, that you’ll be looked at like you’re crazy, and that told that it takes years and years to develop.
So decades go by, effort, time and money invested, but here’s the thing, fluidity can be taught…. and there are no more decades to wait.
That’s when I knew I couldn’t keep this to myself. I had to share it. People clearly wanted and needed my help. So I decided to create “The Flowing Rider Program,” to support women riders and help them effortlessly ride with ease and fluidity.
If you want to master fluidity, I have a special invitation for you.

“I do NOT ride crooked anymore!”
“Before I starting working with Heather, I was dealing with an old ankle injury and the surgery that came with that. I have done physical therapy, but I was still weak, and rode crooked in my saddle.
Then, immediately after the first class I could feel a difference. My balance and confidence in the saddle started improving right away. Heather’s classes have improved my ride tremendously, I do not ride crooked anymore, I even walk more balanced. Thank you, Heather!”
~Jeana Morrison-Noel, Moccasin, Montana
"I got my first 'flowing, forward and round!'"
“Before I worked with Heather I struggled with imbalances and tension, not sitting evenly, holding my breath and unsteady contact. None of the instructors or courses I took helped me. I felt overwhelmed because I was on a vicious cycle of tension with my horse.
Shortly after Heather’s program began, I was able to makes the changes I want in my riding, and that has resulted in me being a more consistent rider. I also received my highest marks yet winning a first and fourth place.
Now, I’m enjoying my riding again, my lessons are happier and more productive for my horse, and judge’s comment now include 'flowing,' and 'forward and round!' Thank you, Heather!”
~Angela Wilson, Bolton, England
"I was so surprised with how quickly my riding changed!"
"Before I started Heather’s program I was dealing with several horse-related injuries, an ankle replacement, and some fear issues around cantering. I have a wonderful horse who takes such good care of me and I knew my issues were with me and not her.
My instructor would tell me that being relaxed was my biggest problem, and I would try so hard to be that way without much success, and would get so discouraged.
When Heather offered a balanced and relaxed course I decided to try it and see if I could find some help. I discovered that there so many places to hold tension in your body, some I just never realized.
At first I was skeptical of some of the exercises. I thought they’d never work, but they did!
The changes in my riding happened quickly, and my instructor was so thrilled I was being more centered in my saddle and that my hands were getting more quiet. I found myself not worrying so much and instead I could focus on where I was holding tension and release it.
I just did an obstacle competition and it was so great to just stop at each place and know exactly how my weight was balanced in my seat, where my legs were, my feet in the stirrups and where my hands were. We got great scores!And I never felt rushed. I plan to ride a lot this spring and summer and will be listening to my mounted sessions as I go along in my riding. Thank you, Heather!"
~Judi Qualls
"My back wasn't hurting!!"
“Before working with Heather, I was not confident and had not been brave enough to canter at that time, felt stiff and wasn’t moving with my horse at all unless I forced it, and I had a lot of back pain.
After one class with with Heather my back wasn't hurting, and rarely bothers me now.
And, much to my surprise, after a couple of weeks into the course, I melted into the saddle, moved with my horse and felt better than I ever remember in the saddle. It just happened. No thinking about it, or straining to do it.
Then after the class I went on a trail ride. Not only did my horse break into a trot, but he cantered and jumped up a river bank. I was able to go with him every step of the way and felt confident in doing so. I can't wait to get back up on my own horses. I highly recommend Heather's classes as a way to improve your riding, even if you aren't riding at the time. Thank you Heather!”
~Lana Tyler, Greeley, Colorado
"I have greater self-confidence and my horses are happy..."
“Before working with Heather all the effort I put into my riding left me tense with labored breathing which made my horse stiff and unresponsive. Her program gave me so much insight into myself, my body and my mind, and through it I have improved my body awareness, and the difference in the way I ride is glorious. I have greater self-confidence, and my horses are happy and much more connected with me and vice versa. This is the most fantastic course I have had the privilege to be part of. I cannot thank Heather enough for sharing her knowledge and expertise.”
~Ann Evan, Isle of Mull, Scotland
?
"I'm cantering happily and making steady progress!"
"Before I started working with Heather, I was held back in my riding from tension trying to hold myself in place,holding my breath, and a fear of falling. I was taking lessons with excellent instructors, riding regularly,working on my physical fitness, particularly my core, but the improvements were minimal, at best.
Since I've been working with Heather, recognize how I've been fighting myself and not even knowing it, and Now, I’m cantering happily and a lovely circle!!!! I LOVE it! Also, I have rediscover balance and relaxation in the saddle, and with it, my joy of riding. My new accomplishments bring respect to my horse’s body and mind, and we are now making steady progress together. Heather has helped me in a way no riding instructor ever has! Thank You Heather!"
~Marlene Lyons, Round Hill, Virginia
"After just a few weeks I was able to sit the trot with a deep balanced seat!"
"Before working with Heather, the judge’s comment was: “The basics of rhythm, relaxation, and contact are lacking.”I realized that I needed to address my inability to relax in the saddle, before I could fix the other issues. Then Heather taught me how effortless movement is found and applied to my riding. After just a few weeks I rode for the same judge, and was able to sit the trot with a deep balanced seat! That allowed me to focus on developing a more supple connection over a rounder topline. Thank you Heather for helping me relax in the saddle and enjoy every ride!"
