Rider biomechanics applies principles of physics and neuroscience to help you understand exactly how your body communicates with your horse. Rather than relying on overwhelming, abstract concepts, this science-based approach breaks down riding into clear, manageable steps that create immediate results. At the heart of this method is developing your mind-body awareness—the foundation for truly effective communication with your horse. Because every rider's body is unique and every horse responds differently, understanding how these two systems work together is essential to your success in the saddle. Suzanne is one of only thirteen Ride with Your Mind coaches in the United States accredited by Mary Wanless, with whom she has studied for over twelve years. Based in the Chicago suburbs, she has built a reputation as an exceptional clinician, working with riders and horses at all levels. Her gift lies in identifying the small, precise adjustments that unlock significant positive change in both horse and rider. Whether you're struggling with a specific challenge or looking to refine your skills, this clinic offers practical tools to transform your riding from the inside out. |
