Who is this course for?
The best place to improve your riding is not always in the saddle.
The rider who runs out of arms and legs
Your instructor says softer hands, longer leg, sit up, all at once. In the saddle there is no time to think about any of it. Away from the horse there is, and that is where the coordination gets built.
The horse that pays for your learning curve
Every fumbled aid lands on him. Practising your timing on a living animal means he absorbs every mistake while you figure it out. Train the movement first, then bring him a rider who already knows it.
The rider with more evenings than arena time
Dark evenings, a horse on rest, a shared horse, a week away. You want to keep improving when riding is not an option, and watching videos alone does not build feel. Doing does.
Sound familiar?
- You know what a good position is. Holding it while steering is another matter.
- Your aids come a beat too late, and you feel it the moment they land.
- Your instructor repeats the same three corrections every lesson.
- You ride one horse, a few hours a week, and want more practice than that.
- Your hands do their own thing the moment something exciting happens.
- You want to understand what his body is doing under the saddle, not guess.
- You have evenings free and a living room, and no way to train in it. Until now.
"You do not need a problem to start. This is the course riders do alongside every other course, because everything else gets easier when the rider moves better."

The real problem
He isn't reacting to the object. He's reacting to his own body.
When an aid comes late, or a hand blocks without meaning to, the horse feels tension where there should be a signal. He braces against it, and the rider feels that brace and tightens too. Most riding problems are two bodies confusing each other, and only one of them can go away and practise.
What the TRT Method does differently
You train your half of the conversation away from the horse: your balance, your awareness of where his legs are, the patterns and the tools, simulated until your body knows them without thinking. When you get back in the saddle, your aids arrive on time and mean one thing. That is what he needed all along.
Your instructor
Meet Tristan Tucker.
Tristan spent years working with horses at the top of the sport, and with the horses that were not coping with it. What he kept finding was the same thing: the behaviour everyone was trying to train away was a body that had never learned how to come back down.
The TRT Method came out of that, and it is now used by more than 122,000 riders in over 90 countries.
The Off The Horse Riding Course is the part of Tristan's riding work you can do in your living room. It exists because the fastest way to change the horse is often to train the rider first.
