Introduction to the RIB method + Rider Analysis
We’ve divided our former two-day course into two separate course days, so you can choose the pace that suits you best.
Day 1: Introduction to the RIB Method
The day begins with inspiring lectures by Maria Terese and Håvard Engell, where they share exciting insights into how the body works and what it takes to become a better rider. We then move to the gym for a practical session without the horse, before ending the day at beautiful Kalneset with a demonstration featuring horse and rider.
Day 2: Rider Analysis
In this course, you will receive a personal rider analysis by Maria Terese Engell. You’ll learn how to analyze other riders and have the opportunity to train your eye by observing a variety of body types and movement patterns. This day will give you a solid theoretical framework for analyzing others—along with valuable hands-on experience.
