Do you feel stuck in your riding journey? Do you struggle to communicate with your horse beyond basic cues? Does part of your body feel frustratingly tense or unstable when you ride?
Come learn how our thoughts and mental images greatly impact the activation of our muscles. This neurological feedback loop, honed through consistent practice and targeted exercises, becomes the foundation for both balance and harmony in the saddle. Training the seat isn't just about sitting correctly — it’s about a supple, dynamic base that communicates clearly with the horse…and that starts in your brain! As riders delve into the study of their own proprioception, they improve their ability to adjust quickly, improve range of motion, and ride with true feel.
Learn about the “Train Your Seat” method to “wake up” your proprioception so you have better communication with your body and a better partnership with your horse. Our heart is student-centered, collaborating WITH you to create tools that are meant to empower you and allow for replication of the skill without support. The goal is independence!

Meet the Clinician, Teresa Pilegaard: After years of developing strong foundations in beginner riders, Teresa turned to specialize in rider biomechanics and its positive effect on the horse. Teresa is Train Your Seat Equestrian Ball Certified and enrolled in the Train Your Seat Embodied Rider Biomechanics 2-year diploma. Teresa is a certified therapeutic riding instructor through PATH International. She utilizes foundations of classical dressage, work-in-hand, obstacle-based horse sports, and liberty work in her program at Dorato Performance Horses. Teresa has a special love for thoroughbreds and in 2023 competed at the Retired Racehorse Project with her "former broodmare" Brooke's Appeal, taking first in their competitive trail division. Brooke (and her many other horses) have grown into amazing schoolmasters to teach riders of all ages the foundations of balanced riding.
