Testimonial from Switzerland!

Testimonial by Nicole Giger, classical dressage instructor in Switzerland and Portugal:
"Just a day after my first Tai Chi and Riding-course with James in Switzerland, I implemented some of the exercises in the lessons I give and my students improved their riding immediately. What my students and I enjoyed most: to see and feel how much the horses relaxed and apparently improved their rhythm/cadence. The Key element for the rider is to keep attention to his breath and to feel how sensitive the horse is to it. You can learn as much technique as you wish but at the end good riding is all about feeling. I was very pleased to get enough time during the lessons to figure out which elements and exercises I want to add to my own classical schooling and the one of my students. Tai Chi is not a new technique for riding,
Tai Chi just helps to feel your body better, so you can get a better rider, who is balanced enough not to disturb the natural balance of the horse anymore!"
Best regards, look forward to meet you again.
