About
Better Ridding
The importance of correct basics, equine responsiveness to appropriately applied aids and always thinking ahead.
Rene Hushea Eady started ridding at a young age and was fortunate enough to have been educated by some of the very best master instructors in the county, for example Bernie Traurig, George Morris, Robert Ridland , and Steve Stephens. Through their training and with the help of some fantastic mounts she was able to compete successfully in the hunter and jumper divisions at the major AAA shows in the Mid west and the East coast, for example, I love NY, Syracuse, Lake Placid, Detroit, Hampton Classic, Chagrin Valley PHCC Horse show to name a few.
With over 40 years of experience, Rene has a great eye for detail and an aptitude for building riders skills and confidence. She believes in a step by step approach that emphasizes correct balanced position with relaxed and steady hands and seat. Once the rider can sit correctly they can then influence the horse’s way of going. She helps the rider become self aware so they can feel what is going on and know what the correct feel should be. Plus she develops various exercises that help the rider learn to focus and help the horse gain natural balance and engagement.
When it comes to jumping the focus is on learning to maintain a balanced rhythmic cantor that will allow the rider to easily find the distance to the fence. Flat work is the key to this. Other exercises are employed to help the rider develop an eye so they know where they are and what they need to do.
I enjoy work with students to come up with a set of goals and then helping them achive their goals.
It take hard work on both parties but it is rewarding.
