These pictures are from the Connected Riding training in Germany. Peggy Cummings had 7 students who came together from Germany, Switzerland and the U.K. to deepen their understanding of Connected Riding (CR). I was excited to be on hand to help her and watch them learn.
CR offers riders answers to questions about how to help their horses and themselves that they won’t find anywhere else. Horses are born with extraordinary potential for movement and most training creates tension that destroys that potential. Few riders realize the extent to which their posture affects the horses they ride. CR reveals several indisputable truths about posture and function and shows riders how to make life better for the horses they love. Based in the concept that it is the person’s responsibility to change from static to dynamic and put dynamic oscillation back into the body of the horse, CR emphasizes functional movement and training methods that promote it.
Of course there are some great pictures of dogs and some kids doing groundwork with and riding ponies. Is this the future of Connected Riding? We certainly hope so!
