Introducing
Equestrian Tai Chi for Riding Instructors Level 2 Certification Program
An online program for Riding Instructors to learn Equestrian Tai Chi, and to learn how to teach it to their clients.
Here is what you will learn in the Equestrian Tai Chi for Instructors Level 2.
You'll learn about the different energies in movements in the First part of The Equestrian Tai Chi Form.
You'll learn the movements in the second part of The Equestrian Tai Chi Form and the different energies in them, both on the right side and the left sides. The training videos are shown in mirror image to make it easier for you to follow along with them.
You'll learn detailed alignments for riding that allow your chi to flow freely as you ride.
You'll learn about riding simple turns and corners, with your body in alignment and using your energy.
What is required to become a Certified Equestrian Tai Chi Instructor Level 2?
You will already be a qualified riding instructor, or therapeutic riding Instructor or similar, with a current client base that would be in interested in learning Equestrian Tai Chi.
To be eligible for certification you will need to send videos of yourself practicing Equestrian Tai Chi on horseback.
Four videos should be sent in, but depending on how you get on, you may be asked to review parts of your practice, and send in a further video. This is all part of learning and training and it is to help you!
Every month for the duration of the course there will be a live Zoom Call, there will be four calls in all.
On the call we review and practice the Equestrian Tai Chi Form together, with the different energies, and practice the alignments and turning.
If at the end of your videos series, you demonstrate that you have practiced sufficiently to have enough skill and a good understanding of Equestrian Tai Chi, you will be Certified By Distance as an Equestrian Tai Chi Instructor Level 2, and will receive a Certificate to indicate this. This certificate will remain valid for two years, after which you will be required to submit another video of yourself practicing, in order to keep your certification up to date.
An important part of the training is attending the weekly Challenges in our online Forum.
To help learn the material in the course, you’re given a weekly Challenge with just a few new things to learn each week from your course, so the training is step by step. Then you’re asked to write a short description of your practice in the Forum on two separate days!
For the Written Work for the course, you'll be asked to answer a short open book Questionnaire and to give 3 lessons to a student and write up a Lesson Plan and Review for them.
The time it would take to take part in this course each week is about an hour four times a week. This will give you time to watch the videos, learn the exercises and practice them on horseback and write about your practice in the challenge Forum! There might seem like a lot of things to learn, but all of the videos and lessons are short.
This training will also keep your page active on the Equestrian Tai Chi Website for two years where it can be found on search engines.

Having never done Tai Chi or anything similar before, I wasn't sure how I'd pick it up...
I Joined Equestrian Tai Chi in March 2016 after looking at options to add to my current instructor Qualifications!
I was given lots of material by the founder Jenny Pim in the benefits to both horse and rider in Tai Chi and decided to start the instructors Certification course.
Having never done Tai Chi or anything similar before I wasn't sure how I would pick it up.
I need not have been concerned the modules are easy to follow with both written and video tuition on how to perform both the Equestrian Chi Gung and Equestrian Tai Chi. It's a full step by step guide of what to do!
The horses really look forward to the break within the lesson to practice and I've witnessed for myself with several horses how calm, relaxed and generally happier they seem.
I am so pleased I decided to do the course and am thoroughly enjoying every moment of it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this course. It most certainly has a place in the equine world!
Jenny has been amazing and has been available for any questions I have, and has given me very thorough and positive feedback in my video analysis.
I’m now teaching my own clients and they've found it easy to follow too. Both they and I are very much enjoying the practice and I have noticed a big difference in my clients confidence and positivity when riding!

This is what she has to say ....
I'm not exactly sure how I found out about the Equestrian Tai Chi For Instructors, but somehow it appeared on my computer. I have been really interested in energy flow, chakras, energy healing, and such for a little while now, so the idea of Equestrian Tai Chi fit in perfectly with that thought process.
I had never done Tai Chi, but adding the element of the horse was very intriguing. I have a Equine Assisted Learning Program, and we were in the process of putting together a new program, Power Up, for breast cancer survivors. I knew that Equestrian Tai Chi would be perfect for that program.
I decided to take the course so I could incorporate Equestrian Tai Chi into my program. The coursework has been great. The videos and instruction are very clear and easy to follow...even for someone like me who has never done this before.
Jenny has been wonderful in providing immediate and helpful feedback on my practice videos. I am looking very forward to completing my certification and incorporating this into my program.

This is what she has to say ....
- I am so pleased with my Equestrian Instructor's course. I was expecting a lot and Jenny Pim's course has went well past my expectations. I love the small "chunks" of information in the lessons.
- I am easily able to study at home, make minor notes on my phone and then practice at the ranch. Watching the different moves in several different formats is really helpful.
- I was particularly impressed with Jenny's critiques of my videos. What a clever and constructive way to teach from a distance. She is able to make suggestions and give support right on my video.
- I enjoy the fact that I can go back and look at the videos whenever I want a refresher.
- I have already started teaching my friends for practice and it has been so exciting to see how their horses resonate with the Tai Chi. Just today my friend asked me again if she could have a lesson. We both noticed her horse steady his breathing, lower is head and lick and chew while she enjoyed the energy flow of Equestrian Tai Chi.
- Truly an excellent course.
