“After the 60-day course, which was not physically difficult by the way, I have so much more awareness of where I am in space and what my body parts are doing.
I also find it so much easier to influence my horses to straighten them and change their posture. I still have a lot of learning ahead, but I feel like DTM has given me an incredible tool for body awareness and improved riding without getting in my own way by trying too hard.
The most interesting thing to me is how little physical effort DTM/Feldenkrais takes compared to something like yoga or Pilates but how much it has helped my body control and coordination.
Thanks so much for this wonderful resource-my seat has never been better or more effective!”

“Hi Dave! I have to tell you that after doing just part of Module 1, my horse and I have turned a corner. I can't believe it. I am able to sit the trot and canter so much better. Because I'm relaxing my hips and back more, he's giving me his back. I can feel him pushing with his hind end. I also have never known what some things actually feel like - i.e. "hold the horse with your back" or "influence the horse with your core"... now I do - I believe in part because of your session and my ability to be more aware of my body. OMG OMG OMG I've been riding my entire life - most of it in dressage. This is life changing for me."

"This method makes total sense. It is based on a solid foundation in German classical riding and uses innovate ideas from the field of neuro-muscular programming, more specifically the Feldenkrais Method. Traditionally, longe lessons and school masters played a large role in teaching a rider about feeling and the correct seat. These days, people don't easily have access to longe lessons or true schoolmasters. This is what makes Dave’s work so great!"
- Cindy Ishoy, Olympic Silver Medalist, World Cup Rider and Canadian Hall of Fame Athlete.
" Hello Dave, I feel so fortunate to have signed up for your online seat training course. I went through all of Module 1 twice, and am feeling less back and hip pain, and yesterday I did most of my trot work in sitting trot--following my horse much more instead of against him! My trainer is very impressed with what is happening to my body! Not only can I follow my horse better, I'm straighter! I have a history of collapsing to the right and this has almost magically disappeared, my trainer confirmed it. My horse of course feels lighter, more engaged from behind, I can ride him more forward but maintain balance and I'm finding self carriage. I just went through the first lesson of Module 2, I feel amazing. So much taller, aligned, self-aware. I can't wait until my riding lesson tomorrow.... I have to say that I normally get off from riding feeling a bit sore in the hips, but not these last rides. In fact, I feel great, almost felt like dancing after jumping off! Even taking a stroll in the grocery store after riding, I realized how comfortable I actually am. I've never considered myself someone with good proprioception. But, not only do I now feel my body better while riding (even while listening to the demands of my trainer from my earpiece), I find myself noticing how things in daily life. For example, how I shift weight etc. while lifting my arm to brush my teeth. I've lived in this body for 64-years and never before have I truly inhabited it like I am doing now. It's unbelievable how much change is occurring, I'm not exactly sure the science behind it, but I don't care:-)I have ridden most of my life, and now I have a 9 year old Hanoverian gelding that I imported i I very much look look forward to continue my learning with the help of your online course. Thank you so much for making your lessons available to us. You are an incredible instructor." –

"Dave, I wanted to share with you that my instructor IMMEDIATELY commented on the improvement in my seat in our lesson last week. She said I looked so much more relaxed and connected to my horse. Thank you, thank you!!!"
