Become a better partner for your horse

In just the first 4 weeks the changes in my riding, strength and flexibility were significant. My hips got looser, my upper back became more relaxed, and my riding improved as a result. I can open the hip angle, sit up straight, and hold the position throughout my ride. I swear my horse has been saying "FINALLY!"

I now have a feeling of better suppleness through my body — I am able to do my sitting trot with more fluidity. I also feel more centered and better able to execute the canter pirouette work I have really struggled with.

I work out regularly, but I didn't realise how inflexible I was. Working on that flexibility has been an absolute game changer. My balance is so much better because I now understand where my body is on the horse, making his job so much easier. Your program is top notch!

During a recent lesson, my horse spooked and then threw in a little buck. I stayed on! I absolutely credit DRT for a stronger core, stronger overall position, and faster reactions. My instructor cheered, "Your seat never left the saddle!"

As I began learning to ride correctly, it became clear some of my core muscles were long neglected. DRT 1 and 2 targeted my weak areas and I immediately became more straight, balanced and effective. Both of my horses became calmer and more willing as my cues became clearer.

The exercises completely dovetail with my coach’s teaching. DRT has given me the ability to use my "sitting surface" to sit the trot far more effectively, and keep myself upright and in harmony with the horse.

If you trust in the process of DRT, the results will come. I've had comments from my trainer and people I hardly know about the improvements in my seat. Riding feels different, I feel quicker and I never get tired — I'm 52 and ride my 178cm warmblood six days a week.

I feel much stronger. My trainer complimented me on improvements in strength and endurance in the saddle — and she does not hand those out very often. This program has given me more than physical benefits; I’ve gained confidence and calm focus through all aspects of my life.

I've made huge improvements in my riding and physical fitness. I'm now riding pain-free as my hips, lower back and core strength have improved tremendously. My flexibility, strength, fitness and overall health have improved enormously with DRT. Feeling pumped and proud!

DRT was absolutely fabulous! I looked forward to the workout each week so much. The feedback from family, friends and my coach has been amazing. Coming from a rider held back with mindset issues, your program has given me hope, confidence and belief in myself. I can’t thank you enough!

As I feel more secure in the saddle, my confidence to 'ride the horse' has increased. My balance has increased dramatically, and I can feel myself breathe and smile much more. As a plus-size rider in a sport of teeny-tiny bodies, DRT has encouraged me to think positively. I cannot recommend this program enough.

I returned to riding after a long time away and things fell apart — I was an emotional mess, doubting my ability. Then I found DRT. My attitude, fitness, strength, confidence, health, mindset and balance have all improved. I can ride again, and my mare is responding so positively. I am so grateful!
