Introducing
Equestrian Tai Chi - Connect
For riders who want to learn Equestrian Tai Chi to enhance their riding and to deepen their connection with their horse.
Equestrian Tai Chi - Connect is a live interactive online program for compassionate riders who want to learn to open and develop their energy, to make themselves an easy partner for their horse to be near and who want to realise the energetic potential of their connection with their horse.
A little bit about me …
My name is Jenny Pim.
I can help you to learn:-
- Equestrian Tai Chi, so that you can harmonize with the energy of your horse and both benefit from your practice together.
- To connect with your energy, and feel it flow inside you, so that you're completely sure of it, it will not be just a vague imagined feeling.
- To make your energy flow in your body when you ride, so that your horse will be able to feel your relaxed energy, all around him or her when you ride.
- To feel your Chi move inside you as it flows in harmony with the actions of your horse.
- To give energetic aids to your horse that he or she can easily understand. Our horses need no training for this.
I’m a certified Tai Chi Instructor registered with the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain.
I'm a certified Riding Coach registered with Horse Sport Ireland.
Everything that I teach is based in Taoist Methodology that has practiced for centuries.
Tai Chi and Equestrianism are natural partners:-
- There's even a Horse Stance in regular Tai Chi. If you were sitting on a horse and your horse was taken away from underneath you, you would be in the Horse Stance of Tai Chi.
- Another similarity to Equestrianism is that Tai Chi is always practiced with the knees slightly bent.
- And another is that the back is always straight in Tai Chi, it does not always have to be erect. Again this is similar to Equestrianism (think the Jumping Position).
Equestrian Tai Chi is completely designed for practice on horseback. Practicing Equestrian Tai Chi, while you're actually on your horse, allows your energies to mingle and merge, and for your horse to be fully engaged in it.
The ponies that I practiced on would become very relaxed, they'd lower their heads and lick and chew. But I realised they were benefitting in other ways as well. They became calmer, and more settled overall, and it felt like there was a deeper connection between us.
When I'd go out to the yard or the field, their eyes would be looking for me. I felt that our relationship had changed, and that now we had something very special and exclusive between us.
I felt that they looked to me as someone who could provide stability for them and that I was someone they could rely on. But I also felt that they looked at me with new eyes – as someone who could meet them on an energetic level, that they could relate to.
Equestrian Tai Chi - Connect is a three part system, where you learn Equestrian Tai Chi, Taoist Breathing For Riding and Connecting with your energy. Here’s what you'll learn:–
Equestrian Tai Chi
Equestrian Tai Chi balances your energy. It improves your flexibility and feel, and improves your posture and balance. Equestrian Tai Chi develops awareness of balance and posture. It helps riders to be in the correct balanced and straight alignment of their bodies. If riders are aware of when they are straight and balanced themselves, it makes it easier for them to tell if your horse is straight.
As you develop your Equestrian Tai Chi practice, day by day, you will find that your energy will become more balanced, and that your horse will start to benefit from your practice as well. Your horse will be able to feel the beautiful flow of energy, that the movements create in you, as you perform them. Your connection will deepen further with your horse, as your practice allows you to meet each other at an energetic level.
Connecting with your energy
Connecting with your energy teaches you how to recognise and connect with your energy, so that you can be sure of it, it will not be a vague, or imagined feeling. As you progress through the 4 Modules, the awareness that you have of your energy, is developed in stages. Regular practice of Equestrian Tai Chi enhances this process and makes it quicker.
Taoist Breathing for Riding
When you go through the material in the Modules, you will learn how to send energy, where you want to, all through your body, when you are actually riding. This adds a whole new dimension to your’s and your horse’s riding experience, because your horse will feel your relaxed energy moving through your body and it will affect you horse positively as well.

This is what people are saying ...
Having studied Tai Chi some years ago, ( but let it slip when we got the horses, ) I came across Jenny’s Website, which seemed the perfect way to pick up my study again, and with my horse, even better!,
I was a bit unsure about online learning at first, however I find the course notes and videos very clear and easy to follow, and the ability to replay each segment as many times as you want, is really useful. The choice of slow motion is especially good for learning new moves, with the back up notes to clarify any small moves that may be missed.
Being self employed, this course is good as I can log in at any time, and spend as much time as I like studying, be it only 5 mins or much longer, then take the practice to my horse, and come back to check or learn more, very handy as life can be a bit unpredictable at times.
The weekly challenges are great, and each one is different, these help you to think more deeply about your practice, increase your awareness of energy and posture, and the connection between you and your horse. The feed back from Jenny is always prompt, relevant and encouraging, which gives the human touch, that is so important when learning these skills.
I am really pleased that I signed up for the course, and am sure that Bailey and I are benefiting from Equestrian Tai Chi, we are at the beginning of this road together, and quite excited about where it will take us.

I’ve been working with energy for close to 9 years now – equine Bodywork/massage, acupressure, myofascial release, reiki and animal communication. I’ve taken a lot of instruction from a lot of people in a lot of different formats but I must say, your videos and soundcloud recordings are the best I’ve seen/ heard. Clear, concise and complete. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

I was drawn to T'ai Chi Chu'an quite a few years ago, and as I began to learn, I kept thinking how much the principles had to do with horsemanship. When I saw Jenny Pim's Equestrian Tai Chi course, I thought why not give it a try? I love that it is about being with the horse rather than getting the horse to do something.
How Jenny has organized the course is comprehensive and rather ingenious. I can learn at my own pace, but I don't lose my interest (if my pace slows to a crawl) because there are weekly blogs giving us something new each week to focus on as we learn the form. This keeps me engaged in practicing and interested in other informational nuggets placed in the course along the way. Jenny's is very good at responding to us individually, answering our questions, and giving us encouragement. The best part, of course, is doing this with the horses. I'm not riding at the moment, but I take my practice to my horses and it's fascinating and fun to see them respond and even participate. I continue to learn about my balance and what's going on in my body, and the horses really seem to appreciate and enjoy that.

Learn to Relax
When Sidney and I found each other, he had obviously been handled very roughly and had lots of issues and dramas going on.
I have been practicing the Taoist Breathing and Tai Chi exercises and found that Sidney responds beautifully to the energy, he shows the classic signs of lowering his head and lots of chewing and sometimes yawning.
It has also relaxed me and helped me to increase my focus and awareness in a positive way.I have been doing this next to him, before working him in hand, and also on his back before a ridden session, and am so pleased to see that he is noticeably more relaxed and displaying less fear and anxiety.
Thank you Jenny for opening this new pathway for us.”

I hope that by now, you have a good understanding about the course, and what it could mean for you and your horse, if you were to learn the material in it.
Maybe you’re thinking, I’ll take this course later, I’m too busy, it’s too expensive, I don’t need it now, I can look stuff up on my own, or first I need to do some other thing, and then I’ll be ready to do this.
