JOURNEY'S HAVEN WELCOMES

"JULIE BLACKBURN"

Lessons, training and coaching available with instructor Julie Blackburn. Julie teaches all riders "balance seat" which is an all purpose seat that encourages riding by balance rather than strength or force. Based on a modified dressage seat, balance seat encompasses riding on the flat as well as jumping and cross country riding.
Balance seat riding lessons can help you to become a more effective rider by teaching you to control your breathing, vision, posture and mental imaging. This allows you to ride in a relaxed and balanced manner in any style saddle, using any rein handling technique.
Balance seat riders learn how to establish a harmonious physical interaction with their horse, rather than just achieving a prescribed show ring seat. Lessons include both mounted and unmounted exercises, so many skills can be practiced at home.

Julie's students learn the true meaning of "horsemanship". Safety, etiquette, proper grooming techniques, and management of the horse are taught to create a well rounded horse person. Students are encouraged to ask questions so they learn the "why" not just the "how".
Julie has been a Massachusetts licensed riding instructor since 1988. Her credits include an A.S. in Equine Science and a B.S. in Equine Business Management from Johnson and Wales University. She has shown dressage, hunters and evented on local, regional and national circuits in New England and throughout the Midwest. Julie has also been a past board member of The Midwest Dressage Association and the Michigan Welsh Pony and Cob Association. She teaches riders of all ages and abilities, and excels in working with riders dealing with fear or physical issues. She is available for dressage, stadium, and cross country lessons, as well as coaching at shows and events.
