It's amazing to see the difference one lesson gives riders to improve their seat, posture & balance. 

No  matter what your horse sport, better seat & posture improves every part of the way you ride, and builds the confidence of even the most nervous rider, and is essential for clear and balanced aids at professional level.    

Colleen's lessons are suitable for all riders - from injured and RDA riders to Grand Prix professionals.

 Lessons Overseas

Due to immigration restrictions, paid lessons are not available in some countries.  However, if this is the case, you can become a member of the International Society of Rider Biomechanics (email us for information), and lessons are then available for members around the world - for free!

 

Colleen is happy to donate lectures to clubs around the world.  Email us if you are interested in Colleen donating a lecture or demonstration to your club, riding group or equestrian facility.

 Arena Fees

Arena fees are payable at most venues.   Arena fees are divided between riders, on top of their lesson fee.   Spectators do not pay arena fees.

 Spectators     $15 adults & $8 concession per day. 

► Cameras & videos most welcome & note taking recommended. 
► Rider's families can watch their own lessons for free, but any club demonstrations are at the normal spectator fee.
► Spectators paying to attend official ridden demonstrations given to clubs are entitled to stay for the remainder of that day to watch lessons on that day.
► Riding for Disabled Coaches, Riders & Families free.
► You do not have to book in advance, you can pay on the day.
► Check if you need to bring your own chairs.

 Payments in Advance

Lessons in must be paid for 2 weeks in advance.   Clinic organizers are asked to collect payments and send them in one lump sum. 

See  How to pay for lessons.

 Cancellations - Refunds

If a rider needs to cancel their lessons, they need to find a replacement as ALL LESSON FEES ARE NON REFUNDABLE.   Therefore clinic organizers are encouraged to have additional riders ready on a waiting list in case of a sudden cancellation.

 

If your horse is lame or sick, you can swap the lesson for a personal dismounted theory & postural assessment on the day.  This is a most invaluable assessment of the person's posture, seat and balance and often riders say it's even more informative than an actual riding lesson!

 

If for any reason whatsoever the clinic or lesson is cancelled by Colleen Kelly, all lesson payments are transferred to the new dates.

 Fundraisers - Donations - Clubs & Groups

Part 1 - Evening Lecture

I am happy to donate an evening lecture that clubs can use as fundraisers.  Audiences learn all about the rider's seat, posture and balance.  Learn what the rules REALLY say about the rider.  Find out why horses fall on the forehand.  Learn amazing tips for sitting trot, straightening the jumping horse and the aids and information that you need to either ride at the next level, or teach at a higher standards.  Clubs can charge spectators - and all of that money goes to your club for their fundraising!  Make it into a super-fundraiser!  After interval have an auction of donated goods.  This is how many Pony Clubs have raised over $6,000 in one night!

Part 2 - Daytime Ridden Demonstrations

If an evening demonstration has been donated, the following day clubs are asked to arrange 2 or 3 riders (a great free lesson for them!) to give a wonderful ridden demonstration.   Spectators learn how to completely assess and change the rider's seat, posture & balance from beginners to advanced riders.  Find out how easily the horse changes with the smallest changes to the rider's posture & balance.  The small entrance charged fee goes towards Colleen's airfare & travel costs so that there are no costs whatsoever for Colleen to visit your club.
