My mum recently purchased your book for me. I wanted to contact you and thank you. I’m currently only up to the first few exercises but the difference in my riding is just unbelievable. Just to locate the lower ab muscle and pelvic floor muscle, I don’t know how after riding for 14 years and competing at two star I’ve been able to get this far without knowing about this muscle.
Thank you so very much.

I have just recently read your book Applied Posture Riding and found it very helpful particularly as I now have a weak back and I have been searching for a book to help build the strengthen my abdominal muscles so that it can improve my riding position and balance.

I never realised how much thought and training went into the rider. I have always been taught to train my horse not myself. By training my riding muscles I now have a greater understanding of what I am doing. I am stronger, more effective and look better in the saddle. I also suffer less pain after riding. This is a must for all riders.

I thought I was a good rider. After reading and going through this book I have been able to use so much of the common sense approach to riding to improve myself even further. It is such a great program.

My posture muscles were muscles I took for granted. Now I know what they are, how to test them, how to use them and how to ride with their support I am a new person and a new rider. Thanks Annette, I feel so inspired now.

I have been looking for something to clarify what all my instructors are trying to say. This book explains HOW to sit up straight and maintain this position. The wording easily works through the process of using your muscles to be effective with your aids. The ball exercises are so relevant to riding I canā€™t believe how simple it is. I recommend this book to all riders.

Thankyou for producing something so straightforward and valid to riders. I have been riding for 10 years and always had problems with balance especially at the sit trot. The exercises have taught me how to establish my strength and be able to control my body. It took some time but now I can sit trot without bouncing. This is a great program for horse riders. I have been riding for a few years only and after following the exercises in this book I developed a new mindset. The riding lessons in part 2 are particularly good. It is so easy really and now I am aiming for my dreams.

My doctor told me to give up riding and do Pilates for my back pain. I spoke to Annette about this, she recommended 'Applied Posture Riding'. Little did he know Pilates and riding go together? I am now riding daily and can control my back pain. My riding is fun again.

This is a great program. My posture has improved and so has my riding. My horse loves me now too, his back and mouth donā€™t hurt anymore and he is so relaxed to ride. The air step saddle pad is excellent. I love it thankyou

After reading your book I am experiencing the most wonderful things when riding my horse Ill be in touch.

After reading 'Applied Posture Riding' it should be called riding made easy. I didn't know posture was so important to riders. I can now keep my body upright and my legs still. The stretches feel so good too. The little tests to test your own strength in particular muscles let you monitor your own progress.

Great book, easy to follow, and so sensible. All instructors should read this book too. I have heard the phrase 'sit up straight' so many times, NOW I KNOW HOW. Recommend this book to all riders and instructors.
