Overdale Equestrian Centre

Mary Wanless is an internationally renowned coach, and is the author of the ‘Ride With Your Mind’ books, which have been translated into many languages. She has also authored 8 DVDs. She coaches riders at all levels, from relative novices to two of the top twelve US dressage riders, and some of the Canadian eventing squad. She has B.Sc. degrees in both Physics and Applied Sports Coaching, and holds the BHSI certificate.

This is an intensive learning experience, designed to be challenging, supportive and fun! Bring your own horse or ride one of ours. Each day you will receive a one hour flatwork lesson shared between two people, taught by Mary Wanless and possibly an assistant, or a 45 min private lesson with a seniour RWYM coach. Your second (group) lesson is ‘supervised flatwork’, or if you prefer you can learn groundwork, utilising ‘Equine Learning Theory’, the approach of Australian Andrew McLean.

Each afternoon there is a dismounted workshop, which includes time for questions and answers, and off-horse exercises that illustrate the biomechanics of correct riding.

The maximum group size is 12 people. You can have an extra lesson if you wish on the afternoon when you arrive.

Our covered arena is 22 x 66, with a sand and rubber surface.

Overnight stabling available if required.

Spectators welcome.

The maximum group size is 12 people. You can have an extra lesson if you wish on the afternoon when you arrive. The course gives you time to become familiar with the changes in your riding, and to start ingraining them; to make more changes, and to increase your understanding of how those changes influence your horse.
