Geoff Teall
on Riding Hunters,
Jumpers and Equitation

You can improve your riding.  It doesn’t matter whether you are just beginning or whether you have been a competitor for years, there will always be room for improvement.  Geoff Teall understands this.  He consistently encourages his students – riders of all ages and all levels of ability – with suggestions for improving their overall ride.

Geoff’s riders have enjoyed success at some of the most prestigious horse shows in the country, including Devon, the Pennsylvania National, the Washington International, and the ASPCA Maclay and AHSA Medal Finals.  Now, you can benefit from Geoff’s experience as a judge, coach, trainer, and clinician in this easy to understand, fresh approach to the sport of Hunt Seat riding.

Geoff’s methodology is grounded in effectiveness.  He believes that good horsemanship is not an unattainable goal of perfection, but is rather an essential component of riding that any rider can master and then use to his advantage.

In these pages, Geoff shares the secrets of how to make you and your horse work together as an unbeatable team.  Though riders often make the mistake of thinking they need to do more to improve their riding, in reality, they would benefit most from doing less.

Geoff knows that riding well is a matter of mastering the basics.  There is no magic potion or sleight of hand involved in creating a competent, confident rider.  It’s simple:  the rider with the best foundation is the one who is most capable of effectively communicating with the horse.

Geoff demystifies the jumping course and shows you how even the most challenging, demanding patterns can be broken down into simple pieces that are easily practiced at home.

In addition to the nuts and bolts of perfecting position, improving communication, and making the most of your practice sessions, Geoff also helps you examine your riding goals.  He encourages you to set your sights high and shows you how to devise a step-by-step plan tailor made to reach your goals while enjoying the ride along the way.

Geoff Teall recommends ThinLine pads for every Hunter, Jumper, and Equitation horse.
