DISTANCE SHOULD NOT LIMIT YOUR EDUCATION

Effective coaching starts with careful observation

Biomechanics-focused instruction, wherever you ride

We look at your position, timing, and aids alongside your horse’s balance, coordination, and response.

Choose real-time coaching for immediate feedback or submit a video for a more detailed review you can return to as your training progresses.

Virtual dressage lessons are available to riders in the Puget Sound region and farther away. Some riders haul in for an occasional in-person lesson and take virtual lessons when they can’t make the trip.

CONNECTED COACHING

Real-time coaching from your own arena

With a well-positioned camera and clear audio, virtual lessons allow us to coach you as you ride. You receive feedback in the moment, make adjustments, and leave the lesson knowing what to work on next.

Immediate feedback. Specific corrections. A clear plan for your next ride.

HOW IT WORKS

A focused lesson, built around your goals

01

Get ready for your session

Position a smartphone, tablet, or tracking camera so the full working area and the horse’s movement are easy to see.

02

Ride live or record

Receive real-time instruction during a live session, or submit a recording for detailed feedback you can review on your own schedule.

03

Leave with a clear plan

You’ll get clear observations, practical exercises, and a focused plan for your next rides.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

Simple tools for a productive lesson

01

Connection

Reliable Wi-Fi or a strong 4G or 5G signal is needed for live coaching. Recorded reviews do not require an arena connection.

02

Audio

Wireless Bluetooth earbuds allow you to hear instruction clearly and keep your hands free while riding.

03

Camera

Use a phone or tablet on a tripod, ask a friend to film, or use a Pivo or Pixem tracking system.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Some info before you begin

What is a virtual equine biomechanics lesson?

A virtual lesson evaluates the rider’s position, timing, and aids alongside the horse’s balance, coordination, and response. Coaching can happen live or through a recorded video review.

What should I send for a recorded video review?

Send a clear recording that shows the full horse and rider through representative work. A phone, tablet, Pivo, or Pixem system can work; the arena does not need an internet connection for recorded review.

Are virtual dressage lessons available outside Washington?

Yes. Live coaching and recorded video review are available to riders locally and outside Washington. You can take virtual lessons on their own or combine them with in-person haul-in lessons at Seven Hills.
