Dear Nicola, Having been mostly focused on my horses training for decades, I finally moved my focus on to my own training and that has been a major steep for reaching my goals.
I have previously used high intensity fitness to stay in shape and build muscle tone for some years.

Not really knowing how to gain the balance I needed for dressage and avoid using my strong arms and legs to ride. I started searching for new ways. Nicolas program promised me that and I went into it 100% committed.

After finishing drt1 I followed up with drt2 and I must say that it’s not my newfound core strengths that impressed me the most, it’s my new found body awareness that has been the biggest surprise and most useful in my riding.

I feel my balance now and I’m therefore able to correct it in the saddle. I’m now able to feel the horses movement, cause there is much less ‘noise’ in my riding.
I’m far from perfect and I will never be perfect and that’s perfectly ok. I’m improving and Im moving forward, that is for me mentally a much more positive state to be in.
Riding has to be fun and every day I will remind my self to be thankful, be conscious and consistent, but definitely not striving for perfection.

The structure of the program has been super easy to follow and adapt into busy family life, I love the massive amount of great healthy recipes and many many fitness videos to pick and choose from, all of them with a happy energized Nicola In.

Nicola has delivered much more than she promised me when I signed up in the beginning. I will stick with her for many years to come. ?
