About Hester

It’s not about what I can do with my horse but what you can do with your horse!

Hester has been elected best equestrian instructor and teacher of the year. She received the award during the instructor congress at Horse event from Olympic speed skating icon Marianne Timmer.

 

With ‘Horseriding with Hester’ I coach ambitious riders at any level to achieve more training effect with fewer aids. This way you will form a great team with your horse and be successful in your equestrian career.

Healthy and happy horse and rider.

“The eye-openers cannot be counted anymore. The riders who went before you, and still come to train regularly, already know it: you really belong to ‘team Rider Feeling’ once you have trained in this way with your horse”.

Breakthrough for riders

“Finally found what I’ve been looking for for years. Hester, you have no idea what you’ve done for me and my horse.”

That is the first sentence of a very valuable mail I received from one of my riders. By approaching riding as a team sport and emphasizing training and coaching the rider, riders find peace, logic and efficiency. Step by step controlling each part to perfection, exercises follow each other logically and make riding clear and fun!

When I work with riders I always focus on teamwork between rider and horse. From clear frameworks to trust to come to a good cooperation. It is a handhold where ambition and systematics reinforce each other. I explain, let experience and develop rider feeling. A relief for riders who really want to understand riding and training their horse!

Position and balance lessons, dressage lessons, competition guidance, lunging with double lunge, video training and horsemanship are the parts I take with me in the different programs that riders follow with me.

I worked for more than 15 years as a teacher in the training Horse Sport and Equine Husbandry. I train a lot of riders and come to a lot of companies. I also gained my knowledge about the rider from the training for exercise therapy Cesar. I followed several courses and trainings, for example ‘Action Type’ to further deepen my knowledge of movement learning with riders.

With several horses I ride in the competition sport. With the 7 year old Hommage I rode in the ZZLicht, the 6 year old Juro competed in ZZLicht and the 8 year old L’Amour in the Z2. At this moment I compete the talented JJ Hamsun. 

The Instructors and trainers training ORUN level 2, 3 and 4 I have all completed with top marks, including a 10 for the theory of ORUN level 4! At this moment I am a teacher of this KNHS training.

What do I do for the equestrian sport?

As the author of the book ‘The 4 elements of correct posture and seat’, I take the first step in getting riders to develop ‘horsemanship’ in understandable language and a fun writing style. This book has already been read by over 20.000 riders!

Furthermore, I have for example started the online training: ‘the 30 day challenge to improve your posture and seat’. Within two weeks 8000 riders participated!

The podcast ‘Horseriding with Hester’ is the latest inspiration that I share with you through listening tips/audio’s.

While coaching and training eager dressage riders I am at my best. As an expert on movement, posture and seat, I guide riders through seat lessons.
