Hey Janice, I have been really "feeling" your energy. (Ouch!) Great to work with you, also everyone had nothing but rave reviews about their sessions with you. We are all looking forward to our next time. You made my job so much easier and more credible. Thanks again!

Hi Janice - Wanted to get in touch right away to let you know about the immediate results of the workshop for me. I rode my horse yesterday. I had in my head my lesson with Nancy from the previous weekend and the feelings from our workshop. I started out immediately "wrapping" my thighs -man is that Huge for me. Anyway, Tag has never been happier with me - consistently for the entire ride. Suddenly it was so easy to do what Nancy was telling us to do! We started where I generally end my workouts. Despite some very sore muscles, I felt 20 years younger yesterday

I have read the book, and I must say I love it! Janice makes the connection between body movement of the rider and that of the horse very clear, in a way that is easy to understand! I have to say that the book definitely opened my eyes to issues between me and my horse, and I am sure that's what it can do for a lot of readers. I am really going to recommend the book to our readers!

Ruth and Nancy (trainers) were both impressed. Funny but when I explained to Ruth what you focused on with me she emphatically poo pooh'd it. So I asked Ruth what muscles she suggested I use, if not those and she said do not use muscles! HOWEVER when I did use the gluts and scooped the belly based on the little bit of training I got from you, she was raving. Absolutely raving! I felt like I stepped onto the next rung of the skill ladder. Great feeling! Thanks!

I just loved your article in the USDF Connection. The way you explain how to use your body for the movements is wonderful!

I just got the book, and it's fantastic so far! Thanks for creating this wonderful resource. I also agree that dressage riders should take the time to make themselves as fit as they are trying to make their horses. Pilates has improved my riding SO much (even though, like many of us, I have a long way to do.) Thank you for creating this wonderful resource!

We all enjoyed having you. I have always encouraged my riders to work out besides riding. But Pilates just takes body awareness to a new level of performance and strength. It helped me to be able to watch how you applied the concepts. Now the book makes even more sense. Fran (Romana’s Pilates certified instructor) also has a better understanding about what we need as riders she is great. We would love to have you again. I need to get a few more riders in the studio. But I try to use the same words and concepts even with my riders that don't use the studio. Thanks so much!

Got your book and absolutely love it. It has been very beneficial to my students and to myself also. it has made them realize how important the inner core is to riding and because of that their posture is improving all the time. Thank you again.

The book is wonderful and I am now a Pilates enthusiast. It is wonderful. The owner of where I board my 9-year old Lipizzaner and I have been taking semi-private lessons for quite a while now and we both love it. I didn't understand what an absolute total body workout Pilates was until experiencing it first hand! Our Pilates instructor now has one (book) for reference!

Loved the clinic!

I did get the book and it is great! I think Pilates helps me with riding more than any other outside activity.
