FIX YOUR RIDING PROBLEMS
- No more doubts about what to do
- Finally solve your training problems
- Ride stress-free without miscommunication
You can solve these problems
without tension and force
99% of all these problems are caused by not having the right foundation ánd by not having a focus on your horse’s balance.
And with our horses becoming more sensitive, I see more and more riders struggling to find harmony.
However, I’m not surprised and you shouldn’t blame yourself.
Because for the past 20 years, we’ve been seeing a lot of riders getting high scores who don’t give a good example of what correct riding looks like.
So, of course, you’re confused about how to train your horse!
It doesn't have to be complicated
A lot of riders don’t have a structured plan and don’t know how to solve certain problems without tension and force.
They miss a system. A system with clear steps and a guideline to help get to the next level in a friendly way.
A system that focuses on improving your horse’s balance.
After 50+ years of training horses and riders of all levels and having had the privilege of learning from the best trainers of that time, I’ve developed a clear step-by-step system.
When you understand this system, it becomes much easier to find out what you need to work on. And why.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve got riders and horses of all levels.
However, to get the most out of this training, it will be useful if you have experience with the basic principles. As the fundamentals are crucial if you aim to increase your horse’s level in the correct way.
Big chance it does. Rien’s method respects the way in which horses learn and it’s developed in a way that your horse’s body will become stronger over time. He has been training horses for over 45 years and he’s never encountered a horse on which his method didn’t work.
However, not all horses have the same level of talent, so sometimes it can take longer for one horse than for the other to improve his level. But Rien says that every horse can give you a good feeling and it doesn’t matter how much talent he has.
Rather, the training method will not suit every rider. If you especially want to ride your horse low, deep and round or with a draw rein and you are looking for a ‘quick trick’ to solve a problem, then this online training and training method is not for you.
