Learning to ride is a whole body and mind experience. It requires us to conquer our fears, master complex physical skills and develop mental resilience. Success in both learning and teaching depends as much on our brains – as our bodies.

In this eye-opening session, Equine Educational Consultant, Jenn Currie, brings the latest findings in brain-based education to help both riders and instructors break through learning barriers. As a Teacher of the Year, rider and horse owner, Jenn brings unique insights from the latest breakthroughs in brain science that will change the way you approach learning and teaching.

In the education world, Jenn is a 24-year teaching veteran. When she discovered brain-based teaching, Jenn’s career jumped from ‘regular teacher’ to author and 4x Teacher of the Year. As well as helping her students achieve unprecedented results, she also discovered brain science helped her to overcome her own fears and unlock potential.

In the equine world, Jenn rode from birth to age 23 until an accident benched her. After a 20-year hiatus, she got back in the saddle and became an equine student at 42. Through her own life transformation she discovered how understanding brain science changes the playing field when you take the learning to the barn with the horses.

Participants love Jenn’s down to earth approach, drawing on her lived experience of learning to ride through adversity. The combination of her education and riding experience, along with her neuroscience background, creates a powerful learning opportunity for everyone.
