pilates for horse-riders
1:1 sessions, group courses, 1 off workshops, winter courses, camp sessions, Live or On-Line. We can work on the mat, on the saddle horse, or in the saddle alongside your instructor. Sessions can be tailored and organised according to you or your group's needs. Please get in touch to discuss your specific requirements
What to expect with my rider sessions
As an experienced Pilates instructor, Claire immediately realised how powerful Pilates training would be for Riders.
​
She is all about the rider, identifying the best exercises and instructions to help the rider control & manage their body whether that is for clearer aids, reducing injury/pain or a more balanced & secure seat.
​
Claire has been teaching Pilates for many years, teaching over 150 customers weekly in group & private sessions, as well monthly Rider workshops. She has ridden her many horses in all disciplines, currently focusing on rehab, schooling and hacking.

E.g: A studio based Workshop (minimum 4 participants) including saddlehorse demonstration, rider specific matwork Pilates, exercises using small equipment, balls, bands etc. and note handout to take home or 3 Phase session (see details above).
​
1:1 sessions are the most targeted and effective way to produce results
