While we strive to provide comprehensive and effective content in this masterclass, the results ultimately depend on your dedication and effort. We do offer a 14-day money-back guarantee, but the outcomes you achieve are largely influenced by your commitment to the live classes, of watching the short weekly videos, and the work you put in, both in and out of the saddle.

Be sure to submit your videos for analysis for private review on YouTube or in the In Self-Carriage Community.

Trish is committed to helping you succeed in this masterclass. The live classes are student-focused, so feel free to bring all your equitation questions. Trish will do her best to answer them all, and provide you with the best content to make lasting changes to your equitation.

In order to maintain an interactive and personalized experience in the Embodied Equitation: Mastery Through Movement Masterclass, we cap each group at a maximum of 20 participants.

This intimate cohort size allows for deeper connections with fellow riders and ensures that you receive the utmost personal attention. This structure is designed to optimize your learning and improvement in riding.

The inaugural live class for the Embodied Equitation: Mastery Through Movement Masterclass is scheduled for Monday, November 3, 2025, from 9-10am MST.

The timing for subsequent live classes will be determined collectively by the group, with the aim of ensuring maximum participation. These classes will also take place on Mondays.

Masterclass video content will be released every Sunday during the modules.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating and Submitting Your Ride Video for the Embodied Equitation Masterclass

We're excited to see your progress and contributions to our self-carriage community! Here's a detailed guide on how to create a video of your ride and upload it to our Embodied Equitation Masterclass circle:

7. Set Up Your Camera: Position your camera or phone on a tripod in landscape framing at the corner or end of the arena for optimal viewing. Or if you have someone that can film you, be sure to ask them to film you in landscape.
8. Mark Your Frame: Use cones or poles to mark the area that will be in the camera's frame. This will help ensure you stay within the camera's view during your ride.
9. Capture Your Ride: Within the marked area, practice maneuvers, transitions, or any areas you're focusing on in your equitation. You can also simply ride around at a walk, trot, and/or canter on both reins. 
10. Edit Your Video: After capturing your ride, transfer the footage to a movie editor on your computer. Trim the clips down to a 20-minute video, showcasing your work on both reins in the gaits you wish to highlight. This is also an opportunity to observe yourself riding, which is also extremely beneficial.
11. Save Your Video: Once edited, save your video as a small file less than 1GB to ensure it can be easily uploaded. Be sure to save your video into your video journal on your computer so that you can see changes and improvement.
12. Upload Your Video: Finally, upload the saved video file to our self-carriage community feed in the Embodied Equitation Masterclass circle.
1. Prepare Your Video: Ensure your video is ready and saved in an accessible location on your device.
2. Navigate to the Comment Field: Look for the comment field in the Embodied Equitation Masterclass circle. Add @trish_tweddell so that I will get immediate notification of the video upload. You’ll find a paperclip icon at the lower right corner of this field.
3. Select Your File Type: Click on the paperclip icon. A dropdown menu will appear. From this menu, select 'Video' as your file type.
4. Choose Your Video File: Navigate to where your video file is saved on your device, select it, and then click 'Open'. This will upload your video to your post.
5. Publish Your Post: Once you've added any additional comments or details you'd like to share, click 'Send' to publish your post to the community.
13. Uploading your video to YouTube is a straightforward process. Here's a detailed, step-by-step guide to help you:
1. Create or Log into Your YouTube Account: If you don't have a YouTube account, you'll need to create one. If you already have an account, simply log in. Login to YouTube
2. Navigate to YouTube Studio: Once you're logged in, go to YouTube Studio. This is where you'll manage your video uploads.
3. Locate the Upload Icon: In the upper right-hand corner of the YouTube Studio page, you'll find an upwards arrow icon. This is the upload button. Find the upwards arrow in the upper right hand side of the studio page
4. Click the Upload Icon: Click on the upwards arrow icon to start the upload process 
5. Select Your Video File: Navigate to where your completed video project is saved on your device, select it, and drag and drop, or select your file to start the upload. 
6. Set Video to Unlisted: As you go through the upload process, you'll be prompted to set the visibility of your video. Select 'Unlisted' to ensure your video isn't publicly visible on your YouTube channel. 
7. Share the Unlisted Link: Once your video is uploaded, YouTube will provide an 'unlisted' link to your video. Please email this link to me so I can access your video. You can also post the link in the community feed in the Embodied Equitation Masterclass Circle.

8. Then schedule a 1:1 meeting with Trish before the next module to receive feedback and recommendations to correct equitation.

Participation in this masterclass does not require you to be riding. The exercises included in this course can be effectively performed on the lunge, while walking in hand, or at liberty.

The primary objectives of this course are to enhance your movement efficiency, proprioception, and body awareness.

Remember, posture and breathing exercises are not confined to the saddle. You'll gain valuable insights into your movement patterns as you interact with your horse on the ground.

The knowledge you acquire from this masterclass is certainly worth sharing.

Sharing your learning experiences and discoveries can be a great way to deepen your understanding of embodied rider biomechanics and equitation. Discussing topics like pelvic mobility, spine alignment, and foot positioning with your barn friends can not only enhance your own application of these principles but also create a fun and engaging conversation at the barn.

Remember, the more you talk about and share these concepts, the better you'll be able to incorporate them into your own riding.

Please note that the video analysis component is feedback specifically designed for you, and may not apply to all riders.

To ensure your barn colleagues receive their personal experience and improvements, we suggest they enrol in the masterclass themselves.

The Embodied Equitation: Mastery Through Movement Masterclass is designed to build upon itself, meaning starting from the beginning is typically the most beneficial approach, it's important to note that enrolment for this particular masterclass closes on November 1, 2025.
