As a clinician and teacher, Peggy Brown helps riders learn more about their own bodies, how the rider’s body affects the horse’s body, and how to learn to use their bodies in a way that allows clear and balanced communication with their horse. She has developed groundwork and dismount- ed exercises for riders to improve their performance in the saddle and in driv- ing. As an accomplished whip, pleasure driving competitor, advanced com- bined driving competitor and driving instructor, Peggy has pioneered the application of Centered Riding principles and methods to Centered Driv- ing, resulting in greater safety, communication and harmony with the horse, and enhanced performance and enjoyment. She has also been instrumental in developing an improved harness saddle which enables horses to use them- selves with more freedom and better movement. Peggy’s goals are to help horses improve their per- formance and comfort level by helping their riders, no matter what their age or body type, began to see themselves as athletes in a sense of using their bodies wisely to improve their rid- ing skills, prevent injury, and to be able to continue a lifelong pursuit of the sport of riding and driving.
