Zitles | Franklin Method | JOKER Training | Action Types Houding voor Ruiter en Paard!

Mijn naam is Janneke Jansen en ik ben Hippisch SportOefentherapeut, Centered Riding Instructeur level I, Franklin Method Educator Level 2 en Franklin Method Equestrian en Train Your Seat 4* Trainer. Ik begeleid ruiters en paarden naar een optimale houding. Hippische SportOefentherapie is er op gericht ruiters te begeleiden bij problemen met de houding en zit. De methode komt voort uit de Oefenther

apie Cesar/Mensendieck en is gericht op het optimaliseren van houdingen en bewegingen tijdens dagelijkse activiteiten. De Franklin Methode gebruikt mentale en fysieke technieken, zoals bijvoorbeeld de Franklin ballen en banden, om het lichaamsbewustzijn te verbeteren. Een beter lichaamsbewustzijn helpt bij het aansturen en coördineren van beweging. Een fijne methode dus om zowel op als naast het paard mee aan de slag te gaan. Daarnaast maak ik als Action Types Practitioner gebruik van coaching-technieken op basis van motorische voorkeuren. Zo komen we tot een snel resultaat wat direct aansluit op jouw persoonlijke leerstijl. Via instagram, youtube en mijn website kun je meer te weten komen over mijn werkwijze. Of stuur me een mailtje met jou persoonlijke vraag!

🍁 Ba****ck Balance & Autumn Joy

Sometimes the best training happens when we simply play.

On this beautiful autumn day, I decided to leave the saddle in the tack room and enjoy some ba****ck time with my horses. My older horse reminded me how humbling a big, bouncy trot can be — while my younger one made me feel like I could float!

Riding ba****ck helps me reconnect with my balance, posture, and feel. But even more than that, it builds trust and confidence, for both horse and rider.

No pressure. No perfection. Just movement, laughter, and the rhythm of fall leaves under hoof. 🍂

🟢Elastic Connection Starts in the Body

In this photo you’ll see something a little different: Franklin balls placed under the armpits while driving.
It may look unusual, but the effect is powerful.

The balls bring gentle awareness to the shoulder girdle, helping the driver feel where tension creeps in and where softness can return. They encourage an elastic, responsive contact with the reins, not by forcing anything, but by awakening the body’s natural ability to move with ease.

As a ® Educator Level 4, one of the things I love most is that these tools and techniques aren’t limited to one discipline.
Dressage, jumping, eventing, driving, groundwork, recreational riding…
Every equestrian benefits from better body awareness.
And our horses feel the difference immediately.

Small changes in our body create big changes in communication.

🌿 The Beauty of Knowing How You Move

So much of riding becomes easier the moment we understand a few simple truths about our own bodies.

Things like…
✨ Our base of support: the foundation that lets us stay soft yet stable.
✨ The direction of motion: the ability to follow, not resist.
✨ The relativity of movement: It's all a matter of perspective
✨ Our centre of mass: the quiet “home” from which balance begins.

These aren’t abstract biomechanics terms.
They are the building blocks of harmony.
When we tune into them, our aids become clearer, our balance becomes calmer, and our horse feels safer, more understood, and more willing to meet us halfway.

Understanding how you move is one of the greatest gifts you can offer your horse,
because your body becomes a conversation they can finally hear!

🎨 Seeing Movement in a New Light

This week on JOKER, our Horse Simulator, we experimented with something a little unusual… coloured glasses.

It might sound simple, but the effects were surprisingly powerful.
Different colours changed the rider’s experience in different ways; sometimes increasing muscle tone, sometimes softening it, sometimes sharpening body awareness, and other times calming it.

And the most interesting part?
Not every colour works the same for every rider. It’s a process of gentle trial and error, listening to the body and noticing what shifts.

I’m beginning to see real potential in these techniques, especially for tension reduction and supporting riders who struggle to feel certain parts of their body. Sometimes all it takes is a different lens, literally, to wake up new possibilities.

🐴 Feeling From the Inside Out

Proprioception (our sense of where our body is in space) isn’t just for riders.
Our horses have it too.

Just like us, they benefit when we help them feel themselves more clearly.
Through gentle tapping, touching, rubbing, and mindful movement, we can awaken their body awareness. Softening tension, improving coordination, and deepening their trust in us.

It’s a quiet kind of magic:
When horse and rider both become more aware of their own bodies, their connection becomes effortless.

It’s not about control; it’s about feeling together. ✨

🌿 Always a Student

One of the things I love most about this journey, with horses and with riders, is that the learning never ends.

Every year, I dive deeper into understanding movement, awareness, and the quiet communication that makes true partnership possible. These past years, I’ve been continuing my education with:
✨
✨
✨
✨ ZorgNetwerk Voor Ruiters (ZNVR)

Each of these teachings adds another piece to the puzzle; helping me see, feel, and guide in new ways. They remind me that growth isn’t about collecting techniques, but about staying curious and open.

The more I learn, the more I realise how much there is to feel. 💛

Sometimes, all it takes is a little feedback to create a big shift in awareness.

In this session, we used a Franklin band to help improve the rider’s proprioception and coordination, particularly in the lower leg and stirrup contact.

Because the horse was new to the tool, we took time to let it explore and relax around the band, building trust before adding movement.

Once both horse and rider settled, the change was clear:
✨ The rider felt more control over their leg position.
✨ Pressure through the stirrup became more even and intentional.
✨ The overall connection improved through balance, not force.

Simple tools, mindful application, powerful results. 🌿

The pelvis is the heart of the rider’s connection. The place where movement, balance, and feel all begin.

When your pelvis moves with your horse, you become part of their rhythm.
You stop riding on the horse and start riding with them.

It’s not about holding a position: it’s about allowing motion.
The supple, responsive pelvis is what transforms tension into trust and effort into ease.

This week, focus on feeling your horse’s movement through your seat.
Notice how your pelvis follows, absorbs, and reflects that motion.
That’s where true partnership lives.
