Curious about IN SYNC?

We’ve put together a little more information about what the day will actually look like — and hopefully answered some of the questions we’ve been getting.

IN SYNC is a relaxed, non-ridden half-day exploring rider awareness, horse posture and movement, and what we can learn when we bring those two perspectives together.

You don’t need to bring a horse.
You won’t be put on the spot.
And you definitely don’t need to be an expert.

You just need to be curious.

You don’t need to be an expert to notice more.

Our IN | SYNC workshop has been created for horse owners and riders who are curious about the relationship between how their horse moves, how they themselves move, and what they feel when they ride.

You might already notice that your horse feels different on one rein.
That one transition is easier than another.
That you sit differently to one side.
Or simply know that something feels different without quite knowing why.

This workshop isn’t about learning to diagnose problems or being told everything you’re doing wrong.

It’s about developing your awareness — learning what to look for, what to feel for, and how to start putting those observations together.

Whether you’re a leisure rider, competitor or somewhere in between, you don’t need specialist knowledge. Just curiosity about your horse, yourself and the partnership between you.

What do you notice?

And perhaps just as importantly…

What do you feel?

We spend a lot of time as riders looking at our horses.

How they stand.
How they move.
Whether something looks different from one side to the other.

But we’re part of that picture too.

What do we feel beneath us?
What do we notice within our own body?
And could those observations help us ask better questions about what we’re seeing in the horse?

Not to find fault.

Not to decide that something needs fixing.

But to become more curious, more observant and more aware of the whole picture.

That’s the idea Nic and I keep coming back to.

And next week, we’ll finally show you what we’ve been creating together. 👀

You might know Nicola Burrell Pilates for Pilates… but there’s rather more to the picture 👀

Nic and I have both spent many years looking at horses and riders — just through slightly different professional lenses.

Alongside her Pilates work, Nic has a strong equestrian background as a BHSII and listed dressage judge, so her understanding of posture and movement certainly doesn’t stop with the rider.

What has made our conversations so interesting is where our experience overlaps — and where our different areas of expertise encourage us to look at something from a slightly different perspective.

Horse. Rider. Posture. Movement. Feel.

Not separate pieces, but parts of the same picture.

And those conversations have gradually turned into something we’ve been quietly working on together…

We’re nearly ready to share it. 👀

There’s been a lot of conversation behind the scenes lately about what we notice — and what we might miss when we only look through one lens.

and I work from different perspectives, but our conversations keep bringing us back to the same place…

The horse.
The rider.
And the relationship between the two.

We’re putting those conversations into something we’ve been quietly working on for a little while now.

Not quite ready to show you everything yet… but we’re getting close 👀
