Have you ever wondered what how you brush your teeth, how you send a message on the phone, walk a dog outside or ride a horse have in common? Do these activities have any common denominator at all?

Maybe we are motivated as a rider by the desire to be like Queen Elizabeth II? This means being nimble and in good shape until old age and being able to enjoy the beautiful nature from the back of the horse. Every rider could be motivated by the desire to discover the potential of nature in both themselves and their horse. The athlete’s goal is to develop this potential to the maximum without exertion and injury. Carl Hester, a multiple British Olympic rider, did not say this without a reason: “Alexander’s technique is one of the most valuable tools a rider can have.”
