FeldenFit 1 and Online Training for Riders

We teach riders how to train their horses themselves. This is our mission. To help riders like YOU learn a kinder, smarter way of working with your horse. To give you the tools you need in order to develop your riding and your horse yourself. To help you learn how to learn, how to tap into your intuition, how to develop your feel, and how to discover the "rider wisdom" within yourself. Essentially, our aim is to empower riders like you to take control over their learning and their riding journey.

I am Shana Ritter. I am a dressage trainer who takes an alternative approach to working with horses and riders. I serve riders like YOU who want to learn in a supportive, validating, and fulfilling way.

I am Catherine McCrum, a Feldenkrais practitioner who helps riders like YOU develop greater body awareness, balance, and ease in the saddle.

Feldenfit 1 is the first in the FeldenFit series with Catherine McCrum with 30 days of daily 7-15 minute lessons.

Strength matters - but true power comes from learning to support yourself dynamically from the ground up. We introduce 4 essential concepts for riders:

▸ Organise your pelvis and supple your ribs so your seat becomes responsive, coordinated, and supported by effortless core power. ▸ Free the legs, hips, and pelvis for an agile, supple seat instead of overworked tension. ▸ Improve spatial awareness and reduce fear of falling by refining how you orient yourself in space. ▸ Build powerful, flexible legs through whole-body coordination — not isolated muscle effort.

You can start anytime, at your own pace. Full, immediate access to all 30 days.

The complete roadmap and systematic training plan for horse and rider.

The Perfect Step-by-Step DIY Method for Riders who want to break through the confusion, overwhelm, and stress of navigating how to train the flying changes. With our logical, biomechanics-based system, you can gently and confidently lead your horse down the path to the flying changes. By following this system, you work with your horse to build the requisite gymnastic skills as well as the mental understanding and confidence so that the flying changes become simply easy and straight-forward for both you AND your horse. (Like the easiest thing in the world! Really!)
