This Program as a Christmas Present to Myself 🎁
"To do something for myself, and my riding before the new year I decided to take the The Dave Thind Method online course before Christmas (60 Days to a Better Dressage Seat).
I immediately noticed great improvement in the pelvis and lower back! I do a little bit every day, and I absolutely feel a difference. It can get tense again after long work days, but I can now loosen the lower back/pelvic/sacral area by myself, with these techniques. That's pretty good!! I can clearly feel a positive difference in my horse. He feels more easy to balance and lighter in his body as a result of the improved balance!
Recommended to all riders who want to become more aware of and improve their seat!" UPDATE after completing Module 3 " I had an issue with my sacrum for 7 years, and after doing Spine Like a Chain I'm healed! Really. I've seen many people for this, and this is the only thing that has helped.
In addition, I had not seen my trainer in a while and he immediately noticed the difference. Also due to this course, I've really figured out how to ask for flying changes without my very sensitive horse getting upset. In fact, yesterday was the first time EVER I had such good canter departures and flying changes!"

"I am now starting the course all over again and will continue to repeat it, as it was so helpful to me in such a short period of time. It is a great winter project for anyone who wants to improve their seat! What I love about it is that it isn't about doing more, it isn't about getting stronger so that you can muscle your way through your ride. It is actually quite the opposite - learning how to soften and feel into your body so that you can DO less but get better results.
I highly recommend this, it is worth the investment! "
Hello, Dave.
I have a success story! I began your 60-Days to a Better Dressage Seat this summer (2024) because I obviously want a better dressage seat! I've been riding over 40 years and just in the past couple years dedicated myself to dressage.
In 2022 and 2023 I earned my USDF Bronze and Silver Medals on my schoolmaster. I also have a younger horse who had a great start and knows changes, but I was struggling to master them on this horse. I also have a pony who I started myself and am trying to teach her changes. On all of my horses, my changes are easier one way (right-to-left) than the other way (left-to-right), so clearly the problem is me! I find my lateral work is also better in one direction than the other. I have struggled with hip issues in the past and also had surgery on my left leg back in 2021.
My goal for the 2024 show season was to earn my USDF Bronze Medal with Distinction on my younger horse. I had earned two scores already (one at First and one at Third) and so needed to earn four additional scores this year.
I was able to earn three of the four needed scores early in the season and the final score I needed was at Third Level. Due to timing of shows and issues with smoke (we are in the PNW), I didn't have much practice time before my debut at Third with my younger horse. I hadn't been practicing flying changes with him until I finished Second Level because I wanted to focus on simple changes and really get those down. When we had our Third Level debut, I was mostly winging it, with a high success rate on the easy lead-change side (scoring an 😎 and a low success rate on the hard side (scoring a 3). The lateral work also reflected the same one-sidedness.
I started your program right after that show and between that show and the next, which was our state championships and open show, I diligently worked through the program, letting the lessons work for me and trying to not push so hard. More is not better!
I noticed a difference in how I felt in the saddle right away. I was able to feel when I was tense in the hips and pelvis. I learned how to soften. My legs felt more even (I've struggled with that my whole riding career). I could move with my horse better. And though the lead changes were still not even, the difficult side did improve.
In order to try to earn my medal before the end of the show season (I did not earn it at our first outing at Third Level), I had to cram my attempts into four classes at our second (and last) outing, which had both an open show and our state championships in the same long weekend.
Between my first outing at Third Level this season, and the next outing four weeks later, my highest scores improved 5% (coincidentally with the same judge), I earned my personal best score on this horse, and I earned my Bronze Medal with Distinction!
Not only that, but the same weekend at Championships we also earned Reserve Champion at Third Level!

"Try It. Your Horse Will Thank You."
What if you could move your body exactly as intended by nature—with economy and ease as well as with mental awareness and clarity?That’s what the Feldenkrais Method is all about. Feldenkrais said that the purpose of his method was to "make the impossible possible, the hard easy and the easy elegant.”
The Dave Thind Method (DTM) is all about that same Feldenkrais journey, but Dave, an international-level dressage rider, invites the participant to imagine applying those micro awarenesses to riding a horse. The ideal equestrian result is maximum effectiveness with minimal aids. Harmony grows from the economy and ease of movement, awareness and clarity that is learned while lying, sitting or standing quietly on a mat in class. The Feldenkreis journey—with Dave’s group classes or individual work—is enlightening and delightful. Try it. Your horse will thank you.

“The most important part of the training of a horse is the training of the rider's position."
Christoph Hess on Horse Welfare Using DTM
German Master Christoph Hess, who is retired from his long-held position as Head of Education and Training at the German Equestrian Federation F.N., says of training horses,
“The most important part of the training of a horse is the training of the rider's position. No rider is able to train a horse properly when they have not trained their seat. The rider has to learn to find the right position in the saddle; balanced and relaxed - and to be honest this is very difficult.”
“Dave is an expert on schooling riders. He is brilliant in teaching the correct rider’s position in a friendly and positive way and his students have good positions in the saddle - he himself also! I suggest that many of us should use the opportunity to train with Dave. Dave‘s training will make you happy and especially your horses happy. A smooth sitting rider who is swinging into the horses’ movements is a horseman/horsewoman. This is important for the welfare of the horse. The better the rider’s position the happier the horse - and Dave helps his clients achieve good positions,” continued Hess who is a current F.N. Educational Ambassador.
