Become a Practitioner


As Connected Riding changes people's experiences of riding, they often wish to learn more about how to share these methods. We offer teacher training for people who seek to share this work with others, integrate it into their own program, or progress to become a part of the Connected Riding organization.

We certify Connected Riding practitioners at three levels: Blue— signifies basic groundwork knowledge. Green— includes an ability to work with the foundations of riding, and Purple— which certifies that these teachers are capable of working with intermediate Connected Riders. This is also the level at which we advance teachers into our Instructor training program.





Becoming a Connected Riding Practitioner

Our primary goal is to provide learning and training experiences for teachers so that they are competent in their transfer of knowledge to their students. Once a person is accurate in the content and applications of the work, they will be able to quickly improve through practice and experience. It is most important that the foundations of Connected Riding are learned to a level of satisfactory proficiency.

Practitioners primarily teach in lesson and small group settings.



To Teach Connected Riding as a Practitioner one must:

  • Have basic horsemanship skills, with emphasis on horse and rider safety
  • Be able to speak to small groups
  • Demonstrate the basic concepts of Connected Riding with people and horses
  • Maintain an empathetic, respectful, professional demeanor
