Recommendations:

"I am so very impressed with Michelle's knowledge and style of teaching. I have worked with and seen a lot of coaches and teachers over the years, but seldom have I seen a teacher with the passion she has and the ability to get the students to visualize and perform the skills she teaches them. She is the best teacher and Vinny along with the other students are very lucky to have her as their instructor."

I created Relational Riding™ to:

Teach horse riding and training to horse lovers of all ages
Promote love of horses
Teach concepts and techniques that help develop relationships based on love, trust, and respect.
Teach riders, trainers and instructors the physical skills necessary for riding the horse "on the aids".
Give people a sense of their role and responsibility in maintaining the health and soundness of their horses,
Inspire people to operate in their daily lives with patience, love, gentleness, kindness and respect toward all the people and animals around them every day.

DVD Review by TheHorseStudio.com

"Prepare to be impressed by this beautifully produced and incredibly accurate diagnosis of correct riding that benefits any horse and any rider. No matter what age or breed of horse, no matter which discipline across all the Western and all the English disciplines you favor, this is the way forward. " We stock literally thousands of DVDs and books here at TheHorseStudio.com. While all the material is carefully selected and reviewed by The Horse Studio Team, there is sometimes a stand out training DVD of high quality content and production that warrants special mention. Michelle Binder's DVD is one of these. Add to this the proceeds from this DVD received by the Relational Riding Video Education program go to help rehabilitate horses and you have a super product that we are very proud to support," President, Paul Alvin-Smith, TheHorseStudio.com.
