RIDER'S POSTURE AND BALANCE COURSE
By Tristan Tucker
Your balance is half of his. So your position helps him, every single stride.
Ten video lessons on the posture that supports the movement instead of disturbing it, with exercises for you, for him, and for the two of you together.

Who is this course for?
You keep working on the horse. Who is working on you?
The rider whose corrections do not stick
Shoulders back, heels down, and thirty seconds later everything has crept back to where it was. Position holds are not the answer, because posture is not a pose. It is balance, and balance can be trained.
The horse that tells on you
Crooked saddle, one stirrup that always feels shorter, a horse that falls in on the same rein you collapse on. He mirrors you with complete honesty, and he would love you to address your half.
The combination that has lost its ease
The trot got bouncier, the canter got harder to sit, and riding feels like work in a way it did not before. Often the missing piece is not more training for him. It is balance for both of you.
Sound familiar?
- Every photo of you riding shows the same collapsed side.
- Your instructor corrects your position more than your riding.
- One rein contact is always heavier, on every horse you ride.
- Sitting trot costs you more effort than it should.
- He goes better for riders who do less than you do.
- You lose your stirrup on the same side, again and again.
- You have never been taught balance as a skill of its own.
"This course is for every rider, on every horse. There is no level at which your balance stops mattering to him, and no discipline where it does not show."

The real problem
He isn't reacting to the object. He's reacting to his own body.
A horse under a rider is constantly solving a balance puzzle, and the rider is the heaviest piece of it. When you sit crooked, brace, or move against the rhythm, he has to hold tension somewhere just to keep the two of you upright. Many "horse problems", the hollow back, the heavy rein, the falling in, are his solution to a puzzle you are setting him every stride.
What the TRT Method does differently
We treat your balance as trainable, exactly like his. You get a clear starting point, exercises for your own body, and then the work that brings the two of you together: connection, a reference point, transitions and changes of rein. The two case studies show the whole process on two very different horses, so you can see what changes, and how quickly.
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 Rider's Posture and Balance Course is the mirror image of everything else Tristan teaches: the same relaxation and balance he builds in the horse, built in the rider.
