Centered Riding
www.centeredriding.org

Centered Riding® was developed by founder Sally Swift as a way of connecting the mind, center and body in riding. It is based on philosophies learned in the Martial Arts and the Alexander Technique. Use of the CR basics helps all riders to use their bodies correctly and more effectively. Horses respond by becoming more responsive, better balanced and more relaxed, allowing them to perform with greater freedom of movement. The techniques of Centered Riding can be applied to any discipline, and will improve your overall comfort, confidence and communication with your horse.
