Mary
Wanless began riding at fourteen, passed the British Horse Society Instructor’s
exam in 1978, but soon after became disillusioned with traditional ways
of teaching riding and gave up a career with horses. As she pursued other
avenues of study, she found her interest in horses and riding did not
abate and soon she was persuaded back onto a horse. It was at this juncture
that she started combining her traditional equestrian training with the
experience gained by her study of psychology, biofeedback, neuro-linguistic
programming, the Alexander and Feldenkrais systems of bodywork, T’ai
Chi, massage, dance, anatomy, physics, sports psychology, and educational
kinesiology. This led her to develop an extraordinarily effective method
of teaching, based on the biomechanical demands of riding and communication
styles that make riding easier to learn. Mary now teaches riders of all
levels, from beginners to international riders, in the UK, US, and Australia.
