Time to Ride With Your Mind®

Whether you're an instructor who wants to further inspire your students or an equestrian club interested in hosting an event for your members, Serendipity Dressage clinics help riders of all levels and all disciplines become more balanced, confident, and joyful.

Clinics are designed around a foundation of rider biomechanics, and Stephany is one of only nine accredited coaches for Mary Wanless' Ride With Your Mind Biomechanics System in the United States.

This system of coaching utilises elements of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and the Alexander and Feldenkrais systems of bodywork. It is highly interactive, with rider and coach acting as equals as they combine their perceptions to unravel the puzzle of how the rider affects the horse and the horse affects the rider. Learning always takes place in a calm, safe, supportive, and appropriately challenging environment, with no raised voices, no 'shouting louder at the natives', and no impossible demands. - MaryWanless.com


Completely Tailored for You

Depending on your goals, Stephany can incorporate unmounted sessions, training rides, and/or Q&A discussions in a private or group lesson environment.

Throughout, Stephany uses creative exercises and stories tailored to each rider in order to help him or her improve straightness, collection, understand the theory behind classical movements, and internalize the WHY behind each activity. 

Note: Clinics are typically 2-3 day events, and Stephany is happy to travel to your facility (expenses paid).
