This course is designed to give you a solid foundation of both skill and knowledge in horse behavior, training theory, and effective riding.
Create a stronger bond with your horse, and feel comfortable and confident when you ride.
If you want to be a balanced, confident rider, but don’t know what to practice and are tired of making aimless circles around the arena, then use this playbook and accompanying videos to create an effective training plan for you and your horse because every ride counts.
In the Effortless Riding Course, find solutions to your riding challenges and bring ease to your riding through understanding the mechanics of movement.
This course is taught by international clinician and instructor Wendy Murdoch. Wendy combines 30 years of teaching riding with her expertise in anatomy and movement as a Feldenkrais practitioner.
In this Course, she teaches unique mounted and unmounted exercises using skeletons of both horse and rider (as well as real riders!) to give detailed instruction on the biomechanics of riding.
In this Course, Wendy breaks down the process of learning jumping, beginning on the ground and progressing to specific exercises riding on the flat, over poles, grids, and carefully designed courses to build each movement, skill, and feeling that you need to jump effectively and safely.
You will get specific exercises for learning and feeling the position, movement, and habits required for each phase of the jump that will make you a safe and effective jump rider!
“I am absolutely loving this course and have learned more in the first 4 weeks of this class than I did in 5 years of in person dressage private lessons and riding my horses for 30 years.
Thank you for putting this course together. The format is perfect. I love the short video trainings so I can fit them into my day. The workbook is perfect when I need to read the information instead of watching videos with sound.
Patrick King is amazing! So patient, kind and positive in his training and feedback (just like Callie).”
“I want to thank you again for the opportunity you gave me when you helped me start my yoga journey. I have loved the course so, so much and will always be grateful that you were able to introduce me to the idea that I could be active and calm at the same time.
I am finding my balance in riding and ability to use my core so much better already and I'm even not getting a bad back nearly as much when I sit on the science stools!! I've put together a small testimonial below which I hope you like and I will of course continue spreading the word about your amazing courses as I really believe they are magic!
I am so grateful to Heidi for inviting us to join her in her calmest and most peaceful time of the day. When Heidi opens the class it is as though we float to Costa Rica and the parrots really are just above our heads. It's incredible for someone to pass their peacefulness through a computer screen to us and yet Heidi manages to do this, bringing that balance and calm we all miss when time races on and we are too busy to stop and notice. Thank you.
Thank you Callie and Heidi I will always be grateful,”
