About DMT

Why DTM?

"The skill of hearing nuances for violinist is akin to feeling  for a rider " Unknown

More than any other skill, FEELING determines your success as a rider. And Your Body is Your Instrument.

No amount of riding lessons can replace feel. The fine ability to take in what your horse is communicating, interpret through your senses, and now communicate back to him with both clarity and subtlety.

Feeling can be learned! And so can our true middle.

We often have an inaccurate self image. DTM helps the body learn where it is in space and in relation to the horse. Above, DTM student May Elise showing improved balance, alignment and feeling.

DTM Teaches You to Feel and Move Fluidly

DTM was developed by Biomechanics expert and FEI professional Dave Thind  to help you unlock your body’s innate wisdom for feeling and movement -- the most crucial skill to your success.

What’s more, it’s relaxing and enjoyable to do!
