Just booked for a one day dismounted workshop with Joni Bentley author of Riding Success without Stress and creator of the Bentley technique. Joni is a wonderful teacher and has combined her Alexander Technique training with Feldenkreis, an indepth knowledge of equine biomechanics and her own unique take on what creates harmony between horse and rider. She's coming up to Cheshire on October 21st to Mobberley Victory Hall just outside of Knutsford and will be doing a full day of dismounted exploration. The cost is just £25 per head and she's hoping for about 50 people to come along. If you would like to know more, or book onto the course you can do so by going to Joni's website at www.jonibentley.co.uk/ and contacting her directly.

I've known Joni for years - she was very influential in getting me started along the Centered Riding route about 15 years ago. I'll be at the workshop too (bit rude not to as Joni's staying with me ) and am really looking forward to learning more about her latest work with Biomechanics. It'll be a really interesting day, that's for certain.

I read Joni Bentley’s article in last months British Dressage (she is also in this months) and Pegasus and went to her website www.jonibentley.co.uk There are so many freebies!!!!! It’s full of practical information and lots of resources for horse riders who want to ride well, but also preserving their horse from unnecessary pain and injury during training. I loved the freebies especially the free online videos, workbook and ezine- they're great. I then organised a clinic for her at my yard with my trainer. We were knocked out by the simplicity yet postural freedom, ease and straightness that both ourselves and our horses developed. It's the fastest gentlest road to success I have come across yet. It is also a great deal!!! The mounted workshop costs £75 for the day but you also get a DVD CV and course manual worth £40 free so you are well backed up after the course. She also gives whole day introductory day workshops for £25!! Because Joni Bentley is on a mission to help relieve suffering for both horse and rider she is offering a free clip from her video in exchange for telling 3 friends who you think would be genuinely be interested in her work. This is the link www.jonibentley.co.uk/tell_a_friend.htm Hope you find it has useful as I have. Go to this course your horse will love you for it!!!!!!!! ;D
