After reading countless riding books and studying with international and national instructors, I discovered something shocking: NONE of them actually explained how to use the seat.

Traditional riding education devotes entire chapters to equipment and position, but barely mentions the precise timing that creates clear communication. The US Pony Club Manual? 300+ pages with only 2 paragraphs on seat function. The USDF Guide? Tells you to use both seat bones simultaneously—which is physically impossible.

No wonder riders struggle despite "doing everything right."

I know this frustration because I lived it for years. Despite decades of riding and teaching, auditing certification programs, and earning every credential I could find—something essential was always missing. The gap remained

The Horse Who Changed Everything

That's when Focus entered my life. An extremely well-bred horse who had been discarded at just four years old, he had already said "no"—politely but firmly—to everything the traditional world of riding and training had thrown at him.

Unlike other horses I'd ridden who were more tolerant of confusion and contradictions in human communication, Focus made it crystal clear: what I had learned wasn't working. And when fourteen hundred pounds of independent thought offers that kind of truth, you listen.

Twenty-seven years later, I am who I am because that horse said no. No to gimmicks. No to force. No to anything less than real, consistent, coherent communication.

The Discovery That Changed Everything

Focus became my greatest teacher and forced me to find the missing piece. Through necessity, I developed what became The Morse Code of Horse Riding—a systematic way to communicate through precise seat bone timing that matches the horse's natural movement patterns.

This isn't just about better riding. It's about finally having the complete education that should have been included in every riding lesson from day one.

Why I'm Qualified to Solve This Problem

Over 35 years of professional experience searching for what was missing:

Bachelor of Arts in Equine Management

ARIA Certified Instructor

Mentored by Susan E. Harris (author of Horse Gaits, Balance, and Movement, US Pony Club Manual, Grooming To Win)

Three-Year Term President of a USDF GMO

Dozens of clinics with internationally respected instructors including Carol Brett, Eike von Veltheim, Jean White, Chris Erwin, and others.

Auditor, USDF Instructor Certification Program with Dr. Max Gahwyler, Conrad Schumacher, Jessica Ransenhousen, Cindy Sydnor, Pat Parelli, Karen Rohlf, and others

Recognized Stubben and Balance International saddle fitter

Recognized in Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue

The difference? While others accepted the gaps in traditional education, I refused to stop searching until I found what was missing.

What Makes This Revolutionary

Since 2005, I've been transforming frustrated riders into confident communicators by teaching what everyone else skips:

✓ Precise seat bone timing for each gait

✓ How to coordinate aids instead of struggling with them

✓ Why horses become willing when you speak their language

✓ The complete communication system that works across all disciplines

This isn't another riding method—it's the missing foundation that makes everything else work.

The Movement We're Building

Every rider who learns this system becomes part of something bigger: a movement toward complete communication education. No more frustrated riders. No more confused horses. No more gaps in instruction.

Whether you're a beginner seeking a solid foundation or an experienced rider looking to fill the missing piece—you're in the right place.

The horses have been waiting for us to learn their language.

Now we finally can.

In Quiet Dedication

To Focus

Who said no to confusion—so that others could learn to say yes to clarity.

Your truth gave this work its rhythm.
