Bridgette Harwood

My name is Bridgette Harwood, I have been a riding instructor since 1995 and started training horses in 1998 in Suffolk County, Long Island. My interest in horses and in particular the relationship and communication between horse and rider goes back as long as I can remember. My method for training students to ride is based on the curriculum taught at the Spanish Riding School. In particular, the curriculum based on mastering the body for seat, balance, control, and fluency. I have found that this method creates beautiful riders that understand how to use their body to its utmost potential, influencing and not influencing the horse; as both are a great tool for training.
