👉Let's talk conscious muscle relaxation in horse training - adapted from a well understood biofeedback process utilised in elite level human sports performance - that restores functional health and remove blockages limiting performance potentials!

OneHorseLife iconic techniques Relax That Stomach & Optimal Performance Program provide a systematic, step by step road map 🗺️ to take you and your horse on a TRANSFORMATIVE journey. These techniques are simple in application but highly sophisticated in nature, and yield profound results. They are applicable for amateur and professionals alike, and for ALL horses regardless their age, breed, background or training discipline....WHY IS THIS?

👉Because all horses (in fact any species governed by a central nervous system) experience tension vs relaxation at a biological level within their bodies. It is this natural process that can either work for the horse or against them in their every day lives! With Relax That Stomach & Optimal Performance Program techniques the horse gains the skills to make RELAXATION work for them - eliminating residual tensions that otherwise trigger a multitude of health and behavioural issues, instead learning to CONSCIOUSLY release them. This produces very happy, healthy horses!

👉If you and your horse struggle with any of the following issues then this work is for you:

❓Separation anxiety/herd bound
❗️Hypervigilant/spooky behaviour
❓Dull/lazy/behind the leg
❗️Girthy or dislikes touch/grooming
❓Trouble lifting legs for farrier
‼️Aggressive
❓Emotional around food
⁉️Overweight or underweight
❗️Poor topline
❓Ulcers
❗️Colic history
❓Wind sucking/crib biting

OR perhaps your horse is recovering from injury/illness, has been out of work for a while or is transitioning to a new life eg OTTB...or you just wish to maximise your performance potentials...

Then we welcome you to join us to take a deep dive into how you and your horse can move through the above issues (and more) to enhance and redefine your training.

You will learn the skills to move on from these issues and at the same time build a beautiful connection with your horse and unlock 🔓 their potential - in fact you may be very surprised at the horse you meet on the other side!
🔑 This is where RELATIONSHIP & PERFORMANCE goals can co exist.

We have an upcoming OHL 🇦🇺 Introductory Seminar being held in Brisbane in August.

Are you ready to ‘Change the Game’?

The perception of “laziness” can be a byproduct, a symptom of so many restrictions to and within a horses body. 💭

Anna’s Riding Method and RTRT make such a powerful combination of techniques under saddle 🤩

24/04/2025

We held our OHL 🇦🇺 Easter Bootcamp last weekend and while there were many fab moments, this was a highlight 🤩

Mark and his lovely Gypsy Cob x Appaloosa gelding Jazz starting to put things together beautifully under saddle 👌

When these guys started with us after coming to a OHL 🇦🇺 Seminar, Jazz had a lot of worry that he internalised and expressed with a bad wind sucking habit. In fact he had to wear a collar most of the time.

🔑 Relax That Stomach released this particular set of tensions and he doesn’t need to collar now.
🔑 Optimal Performance Program has released further tension networks associated with distractions, restrictions and orders.
🔑 RTRT from the ground has reinstated the bit for relaxation and released residual tensions in the body in a therapeutic manner.

So now these guys are putting it all together under saddle and came for only their second ARM lesson 🙌 Jazz use to show anxiety under saddle curling deeply behind the vertical, or plunge down with the contact and also didn’t want to move into the canter without resistance.

Here we have a snippet of how a systematic approach to riding incorporating principles of Anna’s Riding Method and RTRT is able to strip away these problems, and restore pleasure in movement for the horse to explore! Down the track we will see the movement open up further but just look at that beautiful rhythm and swing 🥰

✅ first time ridden off usual training property in 18mths
✅ first walk to canter transition in 3yrs
✅ ability to maintain canter without resisting and pinning ears.

He looked so comfy I wanted to have a ride! So proud of these guys!
