WHAT EXACTLY IS RIDERMANSHIP®?
RIDERMANSHIP® is the ultimate learning program for strength, stretch and control, while also helping injury recovery and prevention...No matter your skill level, or discipline, when you become a student of Janice Dulak's RIDERMANSHIP® course, you'll learn to create ultimate self-carriage, while also working on correct biomechanics for greater feel and harmony when riding your horse.
When applied to riding, Pilates has been shown to improve things for both
horse and rider. The rider is finally out of the horse's way and freeing them up
to move as efficiently as possible. Let Janice guide you from simply 'riding' to 'making moments'... It is in those moments when everything feels like it has finally come together!
You will be given six study modules that contain lessons and monthly directed exercises to experience in your body what is covered in each lesson. These lessons and exercises will develop your physical self and your biomechanical knowledge, so you will know what you need to do in your body to help your horse perform with theirs —the partnership with your horse will be complete in a way you've not experienced before.
You will also connect LIVE online with Janice twice a month to discuss your individual issues and revelations, to guide you on your personal RIDERMANSHIP® journey.
How does RIDERMANSHIP® work online?
You take the RIDERMANSHIP® course from anywhere in the world via your computer, viewing the video lessons and attending the online meetings with Janice and the rest of the Ridermanship participants.
Who is this course suited to?
Anyone who wants to improve their comfort and experiences in the saddle.
Everyone from beginners to FEI experienced riders will benefit from this training.
What is the length of the course?
It takes time for the body to change, so the course runs six months. In that time, you will learn about your individual physical tendencies and how to create change with learning, exploring, and simple exercises.
What is the cost?
The cost of the Ridermanship® six month training course is only $600. That's six months of intense, effective training for only $100 per month
You can purchase the course via check, credit card, PayPal, Venmo or other online method. And for those looking to spread out their payments, contact us to set up a monthly PayPal payment plan.

About Janice Dulak
Janice Dulak is the developer of Pilates for Dressage®, a program to teach riders the importance of a strong core and the energetic flow required to progress in the art of dressage. Janice had a successful professional career as a dancer, performing with world-class dancers and teaching in the United States, Canada, and Europe. An avid rider with a USDF bronze medal and horses of her own, she is the author of the best-selling book "Pilates for the Dressage Rider" and has started her own Pilates Teacher Certification program called "Dark Horse Pilates."
My riding has absolutely improved because of Janice Dulak's Ridermanship course. My horse is happier that I am a better partner. I am so much more aware of my posture and position as I ride AND which muscles I need to engage or relax to bring my horse into harmony with me. All the modules built on one another so beautifully. As I absorbed the information and worked the exercises my physicality changed and so did my ability to ride more effectively! And – my lower back and hips feel much better!
