Individual
One on one Training with a Coach

Initial Assessment and Ride
- Your first ride is a 55-minute assessment session. We’ll introduce you to Will-oh!, take you through walk, trot, and canter, and provide a biomechanics report so you can see where you shine and where you can improve.
- Ride in Comfort
All sessions take place in the Willow Barn at Willow & Withers Stables — indoors, year-round, rain or shine. - Get Real-Time Feedback
As you ride, sensors track your position, balance, and use of aids. You’ll receive immediate feedback on the screen, and coaches can walk alongside to fine-tune your posture at any gait. - Every insight you gain with Will-oh! transfers directly to your time in the saddle, making your training more effective, humane, and confidence-building.
55 minute Assessment & Ride: $125 + HST
Will-oh! Follow-Up Ride (with Coach)
Building on the initial assessment results, work with your own approved coach or one of our coaches to address identified areas for improvement, and build on strengths. Meet our coaches.
Personalized coaching while riding Will-oh! at all gaits will quickly build your riding skills. Both you and your horse will notice.
