In a competitive arena such as Dressage, Show Jumping or Cross-Country, a partnership needs to be created between a horse and a rider – an unspoken trust that results in the horse's co-operation. This partnership comes from understanding what the horse is communicating so that the rider can adapt their riding style according to what it needs.But it is not just in professional arenas that this is important – leisure riders who invest time understanding their horse can see huge improvements in their horse's behaviour, making the overall riding experience far more pleasurable.Jon Evans is passionate about coaching riders to help them form the best possible relationship with their horse. His speciality is helping people to understand what the horse is communicating through their behaviour and movements. In only one coaching session Jon can start the process of opening up the lines of understanding and communication between horse and rider, so that both are able to enjoy the riding experience much more. A lifelong horse lover, he sees things through their eyes. His passion to help riders do the same, and thereby enhance the partnership, has never waned. Horses thrive on communication, and instantly become more receptive once they feel they are being communicated with, at all times and not only when being ridden. The approach he adopts is multi-sensory, being aware of every movement and response that the horse is communicating through its behaviour.
