About Anna Bergenstrahle

We take rides from \'ow\' to \'wow.\'Riding a horse is a privilege. And, like any privilege, bestowed on any person, the privilege of riding a horse brings with it a certain responsibility. Or should we say: responsibilities.In owning them as pleasure or performance horses we take on the responsibility to ‘keep them’ in a way that least violates their nature: that is; we agree to provide a style of management that is as ‘true’ to a horse’s needs for (Forage, friends, freedom…) as possible.In deciding to ride horses we take on the responsibility to do it in a way that is as positive and pleasant for them as possible.When we ride, we communicate with out bodies. Thus, we have to take responsibility for how our bodies show up!This is what we help riders do. We help them go from “OW” (and feeling stiff, not in the right place and unbalanced) to “WOW”. because our horses deserve it! The secret to comfort, connection and confidence in the saddle lies in the power of alignment, structure and function. Too many riders accept to stay stuck with their stiffness, aches and pains! We teach riders how to finally free themselves from their prison of stiffness, restriction, compensation.and pain because that is the real key to a powerful, magical and fun connection and relationship with their horse!
