"Discovering the transformative power of correct body mechanics has been a game-changer for my older horse. I never imagined he could feel this good again! By addressing my own imbalances and removing obstacles that were impeding his movement, he now navigates with ease. Our rides have become a joyous experience, and both of us are genuinely happier. Grateful for the journey of learning and improvement!" - Sue & Tom
I can help.. because I have been there too
Hello, I'm Regina Staples. From a young age, my riding journey began in the jumping arena. As an adult, I transitioned into becoming a passionate instructor and a devoted student of classical training. My focus shifted towards body awareness education and exploring healthy movement, all with the intention of enhancing the riding experience for the horses I deeply care about. This led me to reflect on my own riding techniques.
In this process, I discovered that sometimes the instructions we receive can become stumbling blocks in our progress, unknowingly steering us away from our aspirations. It's easy to find ourselves struggling to connect with our horses and emulate the effortless riding of our heroes.
Having experienced a significant riding injury that threatened to force me to give up what I love, I was compelled to find a solution. This personal journey not only allowed me to continue pursuing my passion but also equipped me with insights that I'm eager to share. My aim is to help you overcome challenges and continue doing what you love for as long as you wish.
I've had the privilege of assisting numerous committed riders in improving their skills using the bodies they have right now, fostering harmony in the saddle. The result? A lasting partnership where riders connect with their horses, witness progress, and contribute to the comfort of their equine companions.
This journey not only benefits riders but also positively impacts the well-being of the horses. Whether you have a young or older athlete, the way we move directly affects them. If we inadvertently create blocks, we make it harder for them, disrupting the harmony and connection we all desire. I'm here to guide you through a transformative process that goes beyond riding technique—it's about creating a fulfilling and lasting partnership with your horse.

I was actually able to feel such a difference!

The transformation that my mare Foxie & I have experienced is truly unbelievable!
Regina possesses a wealth of techniques to effectively break through anxious riding patterns.
I can witness improvement after every session.
I feel more motivated than ever with my mare, and we are now working toward our goals of getting out and about this summer, a dream that seemed so distant not that long ago!"
