An Aspirant Technique Clinic focuses solely on how the rider's balance and timing affect the horse. Sandra narrows in on the rider's balance issues such as crookedness and improper weight distribution. She also knows from personal experience that pain, tension, and weakness of the muscles can greatly impact what is happening as the rider uses their aids. She is sensitive to riders that have issues with fear, poor confidence, and show nerves and has many exercises to help riders with poor timing and lack of body awareness. By using the Aspirant Technique she is able to give riders a better understanding of the horse's body language and to see that most problems stem from the rider, not the horse.
