Welcome to my website about Academic Art of Riding!
My name is Maria Holmström and I teach the Academic Art of Riding in the Göteborg area. Here you can get some insights in my life as trainer, how I live with my horses and how the Academic Art of Riding is influencing my life.
In my blog you can take part of my training and philosophy about horses and in my free online course in Academic Art of Riding, “AAoR-school“, I have written a bit more in detail how to start with Academic Art of Riding. We start working from the ground to strengthen the horse and then we get up and ride. You can read more about the important, fundamental leading exercises, how to continue and work in ground work and longeing, to finally get up and ride. There are also bits and pieces about eg. body awareness, training pedagogy and literature.
To me, the Academic Art of Riding is a beautiful art, with focus on body awareness and partnership with the horse. We want to build up healthy individuals happily performing their work. This is true wellness for the horse.
