Elaine Meredith Steele is a "people trainer".
As a Centered Riding® Clinician, a Cowboy Dressage® Clinician, and previously the Senior Riding Instructor for thirteen years at a prestigious guest ranch with over 400 student riders each year, Elaine has developed an eye for seeing unique body patterns with which people habitually ride and how these patterns typically effect all horses. During lectures, presentations, seminars and demonstration lessons, she invites the audience and riders to actively participate and experiment with ideas to help create a new awareness of how subtly the human body communicates with the horse.
An Introduction to the Four Basics of Centered Riding® will give everyone an opportunity to recognize their own unique style and determine which habits are useful, ineffective or counter effective patterns. Through Centered Riding® Techniques, Elaine will demonstrate how horse and rider can move together with increased efficiency and clearer communication.
An Introduction to Cowboy Dressage® will prepare the participants to bring their horse along through the classically oriented and yet fun-as-can-be maneuvers of the Cowboy Dressage® Tests. Through the viewpoint of the Cowboy Dressage® Judge, Elaine draws the crowd's attention to the absolute importance of Soft Feel, Harmony and Partnership in the Cowboy Dressage® world.
