I've never had seat training as effective as the one from the 'Communicative Seat' course. This unique experience didn't happen in a typical barn setting but in a simulator studio that was both inviting and comfortable. The tools used, including a flexible chair and the simulator horse 'Pluto,' provided a novel approach to learning. Traditional seat training often made me tense as I tried to perfect my seat, but with 'Pluto,' the absence of a live horse under me allowed for a tension-free practice. 'Pluto' could simulate all gaits and transitions, putting me in command and delivering a remarkably authentic experience.

The biggest lessons for me were the importance of being aware of my movements and the power of releasing tension, particularly through focused breathing. The session was incredibly beneficial, and I'm eager to continue my training. - Simone Ertel
