Discover how Train Your Seat Ball Training transforms rider awareness and movement with Franklin balls, enhancing your riding experience at Will-oh!
If you’ve spent any time riding at Will-oh!, chances are you’ve already experienced the power of Franklin balls.
They’re simple.
They’re effective.
And when used correctly — they can completely change how you ride.
That’s where Train Your Seat Ball Training comes in.
What Is Train Your Seat Ball Training?
Train Your Seat is a structured approach to improving rider movement, balance, and connection through biomechanics and awareness-based learning.
The Ball Training program focuses on how to use soft, pliable balls to create immediate feedback in the saddle — helping riders better understand their position and movement.
These tools don’t force you into position.
They help you feel your way there.
A Simple Tool — Used with Purpose
Franklin balls can have a powerful impact on how riders move and feel in the saddle.
Used thoughtfully, they can:
- Improve awareness of position
- Help release tension
- Support better alignment and balance
But like any tool, their effectiveness comes from how they’re used — and understanding when and why to apply them.
Continuing to Learn, So We Can Teach Better
At Will-oh!, we’re always learning.
Rider biomechanics is complex, and there is no single approach that works for every rider. Our goal is to continue building a thoughtful and evolving toolkit — one that helps each rider better understand their body, their position, and the impact they have on the horse.
That’s why I chose to complete the Train Your Seat Ball Training certification.
It was important to me not just to use these tools, but to truly understand them — how and why they work, and how to apply them effectively for different riders and different challenges.
📸 Proud to have completed the Train Your Seat Ball Training certification — and excited to bring this knowledge into our work with riders at Will-oh!
Through this training, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of:
- How riders develop awareness and feel
- How small changes in the body influence the horse
- How to create meaningful, lasting improvements
This kind of work reinforces something we see every day at Will-oh! — when a rider begins to understand their own movement, everything starts to improve.
It’s not about forcing a position.
It’s about understanding how your body works — and learning how to use it more effectively.
From Awareness to Riding
When your body becomes more aligned and functional:
- Your aids become clearer
- Your horse responds more willingly
- Your riding feels smoother and more effective
Instead of constantly correcting yourself, you begin to understand what your body is doing — and how to adjust it.
