Jean Luc’s style, which is analyzing the horse’s problem and providing adequate gymnastic is better served with private lessons. Small group lessons, (2 or 3), can only focus on more general subject. They can be accepted as introduction to the approach.

Fee for group lesson, $90.00 per rider

Dressage and/or Jumping

In both discipline, Jean Luc analyzes the horse’s technique, style and difficulties, provides appropriated gymnastic program and explains how to properly apply the program.

 

Clinic and riders Testimonails

I was very fortunate and excited to attend this clinic at Whisperwood Acres in West Bend, WI. Jean Luc started by explaining his basis for correcting imbalance and even lameness in the horse, and how the rider needs to address the horse's issues with their own balance. I sat, open-mouthed (literally - I caught myself staring like an idiot!), through his entire initial presentation. 

He was startlingly humble and patient, working with each horse and rider as individuals and studying them quietly and carefully before deciding on a course of action. He was soft-spoken and soft in his approach. Even his casual stories were humble and humorous. Every horse made an effort to touch him, and he touched every horse both with his hands and his quiet presence. He used his hands a lot, and I had to edit down carefully the images of his hands, especially the ones at the end of the day when he was answering questions in the most beautiful light. Please visit his website, Science of Motion, for more specific information on the man and his methods.

Dear Jean Luc,

I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude to you for being willing to come to our area and relate your expert knowledge to us!  Your approach was so refreshing!  It does seem that the German philosophy is so "overbearing" to the horses.  Thank you, also, for your thoughts about horses and their kind natures and intelligence.  It seems that so many people think they are only there to be bullied and to satisfy ego expectations.  They are very special creatures indeed. 

Respectfully,

Paula Salter

Everyone thoroughtly enjoyed Jean Luc. Most of the participants have never been exposed to a clinician of this magnitude with the clear knowledge , understanding, research and presentation to truly help every horse - we are all on a Jean Luc "High". He is truly one of a kind. Also, as you well know he has a wonderful sense of humour which really added to the fun and everyone was comfortable with him, they were not intimidated and felt at ease with asking questions. Even the facility owner, who is a western/natural horsemanship based rider said he enjoyed it and picked up quite a few concepts that he wants to incorporate into his riding and teaching.  Thank you for sharing him with us!

"Thanks again so much for hosting, organizing, running, etc. the clinic this weekend.  It was so fabulous.  I am so very grateful that I had the opportunity to meet and work with Jean Luc.  He is an extraordinary man.  If you wind up giving him feedback from the weekend, please let him know how grateful I am and how highly I think of him. "

"The more I think about it, the more I applaud Jean Luc's work.  I, too, am a researcher, so I really appreciate that aspect.  For him to collect all of the relevant data and apply it to riding is inspiring.  I also admire him for saying that many of the classical methods are not appropriate, given the knowledge we now have about the horse's musculoskeletal system.  I would really love for him to be able to deliver this information to a very large number of people.  I wish they would consider having him speak at the national USDF meetings." CJ

I can honestly say that I am having more fun with my riding then I ever had....my progress is extremely slow and I am sure to the outside world they wonder what the heck is taking me so long...but all the mini lightbulbs that keep going off as I am able to connect with my horses - it really is a mind, body, spirit thing...just hoping it will all come together some day. In the meantime, though, Berend, Marten and I are enjoying the journey and they especially are glad Jean Luc has come into our lives! Pamela Mcknight

Comments on Our DVD's and Books

Love the harmony and cherished relationship your videos bring to viewers. One hand on shoulder, wow! The gesture is so simple and yet so full of trust and love and shared being in the moment. Thank you! George Buggs

“One Hand On His Shoulder” is an amazing bit of fresh air. Breaking with tradition Jean Luc Cornille demonstrates, with great intellect and humor, just how much the horse can teach the humans with which they interact. With grace and artistry Mr. Cornille presents his work in-hand with Lafayette clearly showing that so much more can be accomplished if we accept and listen to the horse. A lovely video that brings back the art of horsemanship and has certainly inspired me to listen more and demand less of each horse I work with. Susan Hopf

I will watch and re-experience this many times over, when I need an extra dose of beauty and, I might even say, "spirituality" in my life.

Such an amazing delight!

I just finished reading your new CD for the second time and want to thank you for it.  Though it gives a great deal of meaty science-based material, the excellent anatomical renderings really help to illustrate the text.  Finally, a book to bring it all together: the science, the training, for the good of the horse.  Your unique sense of humor and  cartoons were appreciated, as were the photos of you riding.  I have to assume that there are other books on the way, and will look for them on your website. Caroyln Sanchez

Jean Luc Cornille's CD "What is the Science of Motion?" offers up many gifts. One of the most priceless, in my view, is that the clear explanations combine with photographic images that show precisely what is happening when the rider experiences that glorious (and addictive!) feeling of lightness and self-carriage. Riding with correct images in the mind lets the rider visualize how best to use his or her body in order to help the horse. Pam Black

Jean Luc approaches his challenge drawing on the wisdom of the traditional masters, especially de la Gueriniere, combined with a deep understanding of the functional anatomy of the horse given by more modern scientific investigations.  The anatomical illustrations are especially noteworthy for their clarity.  These illustrations are combined with high quality video clips of horses in motion.  Seeing them together is what really makes clear the connection between the horse’s skeletal alignment while in motion and either a balanced, supple gait or a strained, damaging gait.  This horse’s problem may be unique, but in using this case Jean Luc has provided insights into the biomechanics of horse and rider that throw light on all sorts of training issues.  I will enjoy viewing this video many times over for guidance in riding and training my own horse.  I recommended it especially to people who enjoy thinking about how horses move in that magical way they can”. Bradley Bockrath
