Lunge lessons on schoolmaster

[lila]

Hi All

Posting on behalf of a friend:

Looking for an instructor that offers lunge lessons on patient, confidence-building schoolmasters. Rider is looking to improve seat, balance, confidence, and needs to correct extremely harsh hands. The ideal would be lunge lessons on a calm schoolmaster, no reins for the rider, horse controlled from the ground. (You'd be amazed at how many instructors think lunge lesson = riding with reins, off the lunge rope, in a lunge ring). Specific work needs to be done on gaining an independant dressage seat to help resolve the problem with the harsh rigid hands.

Anywhere in the Pta / Centurion / Kyalami area would suit.


Please let me know if any of you know of a suitable instructor / riding school. Post here or pm me.

Thanks
Lila

The Lipizzaner’s used to offer lessons, all on the lunge to improve seat and hands. Don't know if it's still happening or open to the general public though...

Rox, that would be ideal, but last time we inquired they were fully booked. And most of the timeslots set aside for riders from outside tend to be during working hours on working days.

Annie, if you can get hold of a lunge ring and are still looking, you're welcome to borrow Daisy. She's super-safe.

Annie, can we trade lunge lessons here. If you give me a lesson I will give you one and we can use the little guy as our steed.
