Does this sound familiar?
- Are you ever insecure while riding? Am I doing it right? Why does my horse react this way? Is something wrong with my horse or doesn’t he understand me? Am I unclear in my aids?
- I know it is me and not my horse, but how can I help us (myself and my horse) to become a better team?
- Would you like to keep it fun for you and your horse? Riding without resistance or communication problems?
- Are you afraid to do something wrong and ruin the training of your horse? Do I have the right posture and sit? Am I riding with enough balance?
- Do you ever wait and see while riding? Does your ‘feeling’ go out, turns off?
- Do you stop with difficult excersizes when others can look at you?
- Or are you just very eager to become the best possible rider for your horse?
“Just watched the first audio and video. Lovely! Really like standing next to me and very clearly explained, just like I’m used to from you. Tomorrow I will ride again, I can practice it right away. Congratulations on the beautiful online environment, you can be very proud of that”.
“Although I was very doubtful whether this training would suit me because I am currently riding medium level, I am very happy with the training. Hester really explains it very well. I’m riding more consciously now and that helps enormously”.
“Where have you been all these years? I would have liked to hear this 15 years earlier! Great this training, I’ve been looking forward to it for years. What I love most is your soothing voice, never forcing but always stimulating”.
You’re not the only one
The brand new online training ‘Horseriding with Hester’ is especially for loving riders who really care about their horse.
Do you no longer want to be insecure while riding and having fun?
This training is especially for riders who are sometimes a bit insecure about their own abilities.
Ideal for riders who may be a bit less daring and want to take some time to take it easy.
If you know what you are already doing well and where there is room for improvement, then that already gives a lot of rest and relaxation in training your horse.
Trust me: you’re not the only one who sometimes wonders if you’re doing all right.
We don’t all have the most beautiful horse that always cooperates and moves easily.
There are many more riders who need to have it from love, perseverance and fun at your own level and with your own horse. (Instead of unprecedented talent and the finest (sponsor) riding horses that seem to be capable of anything).
This online training will help you to deal better with your horse on your own level so he will understand you on the smallest aids.

Horse Riding with Hester
“This training program is not about what I can do with my horse but what you can do with your horse!”
Meet your trainer
In 2019 Hester Bransen won the Award for best equestrian instructor and teacher of the year.
Her training agenda is full and there is a waiting list for the popular training days.
Her book ‘The 4 elements of the correct riders position’ has already been downloaded by more than 20.000 riders. For the first online program ’30 days challenge to improve your riders position’ more than 8000 riders signed up within two weeks.
In order to be able to train you with the feeling of the rider, the balance en knowhow they made this beautiful, unique online program that helps you to ride your horse with more rider feeling and less aids.
“Now that I am following the training ‘Horse Riding with Hester’ I notice so much improvement in especially my posture and sitting, which makes every horse I ride visibly better.
In my last 7 horse years many quarters have passed by and often got stuck somewhere. Now these quarters are ringing 1 by 1 in their place! Great how practice and theory come together.
It takes away my insecurity and it stimulates me enormously, that I even feel like riding the competition tests again!
I think this training is a perfect addition to the live teaching, because now you can see what the intention is! And my horse and me? We don’t know what will happen to us. So much more relaxation than we’ve ever had, both of us! It’s really great.
Going all the way back to basics is so good. I understand everything a lot more now and get more self-confidence. In riding I always have a little doubt, am I doing it right? When exactly should I use any aids? This tightens me up in my posture, so yes I am/was such a chair-sitting, buckling and hanging rider….. ?
I notice that with your explanation I get more certainty, more understanding of what I am doing and therefore do it better.
I regularly have ‘wow’ moments since I do the training. What a great experience!
I also notice a huge difference with the horses at the equestrian center. Because of the online training I also understand a lot more what my instructor means with certain instructions!”
“I’m enjoying being able to participate in your course. Little budget and a lot of ‘desire’ to learn to ride horses honestly and well. I’m a slow learner, so it’s great that I can repeat so much. I notice that I can learn more than I thought myself.
One progress and experience; I can, contrary to what I always thought about myself, feel, understand what I feel and act on it. The correct rising trot for example.
The combination of masterclass, video and audio is ‘amazing’. Good to understand, and especially good to do at times when my head is calm enough. If it is ‘too busy’ in my head, I can go back or further later.
I am very happy with this possibility of online learning.”
Wondering if the training ‘Horse Riding with Hester’ is something for you?
This training is not suitable for all riders. ‘Horseriding with Hester’ feeling’ is especially for riders who have one or more of the following characteristics:
- You describe yourself as an ambitious or fanatical recreational rider who wants to learn further.
- You secretly have the desire to start competing.
- You are a re-entry or ‘late’ beginner.
- You used to ride, but haven’t ridden for many years. Until you gave yourself a big present: riding again. With your own horse or loan horse/manege horse. You’ve found (or rediscovered) the love for the horses.
- Above all, you want the best for your horse, that you can train him in an honest way, with mutual respect.
- You ride on a recreational, basic or intermediate level.
- You sometimes feel anxious or insecure. Am I doing it right? Am I not ruining the training of my horse this way?
- To come and train in real life at Ruitergevoel is one step too far, you have no transport, the Ruitergevoel training center is too far away, your horse gets restless on other terrain or while traveling (and so do you) or you think the step is just too big to come and train in real life at Hester. But you’re also very curious and inspired and motivated to get started with Ruitergevoel.
“Compliments. What do you give a clear, understandable and fine explanation in the videos, audio’s and masterclasses. I am so very happy that I signed up for the training ‘Horseriding with riderfeeling’.
I started riding when I was 39 years old (after half a year on an equestrian center-horse, immediately a horse of my own). Riding did not go by itself, because I suffered a lot from classical pelvic instability which I had inherited from a pregnancy.
Because I sometimes find it stressful to ride alone (without an instructor or other riders) (I hear all kinds of noises, I see ‘danger’ and am afraid to fall again), we can’t always ride relaxed.
Now I’ve had you in my ear a couple of times and this works great. I have you in my ear as an instructor, so I can focus on what I need to feel and do. My attention is with what I do and that’s why my horse is more with me. She, too, is much more involved with me now and much less with my surroundings. The training is easy to follow through the videos, audio’s and masterclasses.
Now that I am giving help much better and at the ‘right’ moment, my horse reacts so well. Our training is getting better and better together and we both enjoy it even more.
My equestrian feeling is really getting so much better! Yesterday someone told me that they saw me riding my first competition soon ;)”
“I really like the modules! It gives so much confidence to hear clearly how something is going and should feel. I was always riding with the thought of ‘I’m just doing something’ and I really think that your modules help to make way for riding with self-confidence and (rider) feeling.”

This online training is certainly not intended for:
- Riders who are not willing to actively participate in the training. They think that rider feeling and cooperation with your horse ‘naturally’ arises. Riders who do not want to take the time to make the material their own. Riders who like quick and ready-made results, without understanding the way to get there. Riders who actually find the base a bit boring. Are you such a rider?
Sorry, then this training is not for you. - Riders who carelessly follow different courses and trainings, without any system in it. Who quickly click through the training and then just decide that it’s not for them after all. Riders who find it necessary to ventilate their strong opinions at the edge of the arena, in the canteen of the stable and on all kinds of social media. Unfortunately, this training is not going to help you in that case.
“I follow the online training program with a lot of fun and success!
Very nice to do it step by step and in my own time and environment, it helps me a lot. I find your instructions concrete and clear and incredibly adequate, it often seems as if you are watching while I am practicing. Then I am pushing at a canter and then I hear “don’t push” in my ear.
I could have had some skepticism or an online training could be of added value, but that’s definitely it for me! I am really happy with it”.
“I am very enthusiastic about your clear way of explaining and the homework assignments. You do it SUPER.
Nice in small steps you take me by the hand.
It is a very nice online training. Clear, good to work with and motivating.
What I especially like is that you say that almost nobody feels things immediately or that it doesn’t all have to go well at once.
That’s important for perfectionists like me.
Even though I’ve been riding for years it’s an eye opener”.
‘Horse Riding with Hester’
Basics basics basics. Yes really, no kidding. Basics, but fun.
- You learn how a horse learns, so you can continue with your and his development.
- You learn how to literally connect with your horse so that you and he are open for communication and cooperation.
- You learn to really understand the basic gaits of your horse.
- You learn which aids you need to give in the transitions and steering of your horse, even if you don’t have the talent of Anky, Charlotte or Isabelle 😉
- You learn what a good and logical structure is of the training of your horse.
- You get super handy exercises to get started with. So much fun and valuable that it surprises you that no one has told you this before.
Note: this training is not about what I can do with my horse, but what you can do with your horse.
“My compliments on how you put the training together.
Logical, orderly and clear.
Besides that, I really like your explanation!”
“I make grateful use of the training, because I want to teach my horse everything in the right way.
Even though I’ve been riding for years and this is not my first horse, I like to get the basics clearly explained again. In the passing of the years it actually becomes an automatism and you don’t think about it that way anymore.
The videos and audio’s are really nice, everything is clearly explained and you can always look back. I really like that too”.

“Fantastic!
It works so well! My horse started to breeze right away and I noticed to myself how often I raise my shoulders and tighten my arms. With this I relax a lot more. I look forward to the next lesson.”
“I’m very happy with the audio’s for on the horse. It is very clear and because I now ride with earplugs I can concentrate very well. Very good explanation.”
“Thank you for your enjoyable videos and audio. I certainly notice progress in responding to my aids and therefore in keeping my horse on a steady pace and rhythm. Very happy with it. And again good to notice that you achieve so much with so few aids”.
The training program
Audio's
The audio’s are sound recordings with lessons you can use super handy, wherever and whenever you want. While riding, when you’re on the road, or just sitting in the garden. Just with earplugs in, from your phone. Simple and favorite in training. Each module contains multiple audio’s with exercises that will help you to develop more riders’ feeling step by step.
Video's
To take you through the exercises Hester will help you on your way with clear videos. With the explanations you can get started yourself. You can watch the videos on your laptop, at home. So you don’t have to go out for it. In the videos Hester shows you how to do the exercises and what the pitfalls are. You can quickly get started with the videos and watch them again and again.
Masterclasses
The masterclasses are videos with extra explanations that will take you step by step in the development of your riders’ feeling. These masterclasses make sure that you really understand what to do, how to do it and why. The theory explained just as well. Hester uses examples, drawings and exercises to do so. This way everything is very clear.
