 "Annie
my horse used to collapse onto her knees when landing over a
jump, so much so, her previous owner sold her to me after a
resultant bad fall.
After 6 lessons with Joni she is now jumping perfectly and
boldly with no stumbling after the fence. It has made a huge
difference to my confidence and hers. Even though Annie is
cured I'm going to continue lessons with Joni, because now I
feel I have enough background knowledge and self belief to
train to be a competitive rider, which I had never before
dared to consider."

“The most revolutionary form of
learning currently available, Riding Success Without Stress
...is a more natural and less forceful way of riding and
training. Joni Bentley is the first to formally apply the,
Alexander Technique to the training of horses and the way they
are ridden.”
Jane Kidd Dressage magazine

Does your horse?
|
-
Lean on one rein? Or lean in, or out, on a circle?
-
Struggle to bend one way yet the other is easy?
-
Have canter lead problems?
-
Go forward reluctantly? Or have high head carriage?
-
Have a ‘hard’ mouth, or a ‘bad’ or ‘cranky’ attitude?
-
Have a back problem, or stiffness or balance issues?
|

|
All the above are due to right or left -handedness, (natural crookedness ) and
are easily cured. |

Stress."
Alexander teacher and classical horse trainer. I've helped thousands of riders from novice to

achieve natural stress-free excellence, you have come to
the right place." |

The ART™ Of Straightness |
 Many
common behavioural, physical, or saddle-fit issues are
simply the result of an ergonomic misalignment between
horse and rider.
Joni Bentley has a growing
reputation for transforming horses with poor movement into
naturally good movers using
ART™ Alignment Riding Therapy.
Art is a deep release therapy that dissolves crookedness at
it's very core by combining the Alexander Technique,
Feldenkrais, NLP and a good dose of common sense! |
 “ART
is so easy and different to any horse training I have ever
come across and I believe it will revolutionise horse
training in the future. It has resolved so many issues and horse
training problems for me in an uncanny “magic wand” kind of
way. Joni Bentley's horse training, gives the most careful
consideration to all the different factors involved in horse
and rider crookedness. It then shows you through unique
exercises how, by “unfixing” rather than “fixing” horse and
rider, crookedness gradually crystallizes out more and more,
up to a point where it dissolves and solves itself.” Andy Ford's Kent UK |
 ""Good riding creates a balanced horse. Balance means you keep the
whole body working well as a unit." Dr Gerd Heuschmann.

the horse needs most, and your patience is the most precious gift
you can give."
