Balanced, Flexible and Confident Together
A Step-by-Step Program to Help You and Your Horse Discover Easier Movement, Relaxed Confidence and a Joyful Partnership
This one-of-a-kind coaching program can help you AND your horse reduce the effects of aging, arthritis, injuries or anxiety.
So you and your horse can enjoy moving through life. Together.
Yes, I Want This!You want your horse to be happy and healthy
You recognize the value of supporting your horse HOLISTICALLY, rather than chasing symptoms.
And you don't hesitate to look within. Could you be contributing to your horse's stiffness, tension or resistance?
Is your tension, achiness or anxiety affecting your horse?
Is your horse paying the price for your unbalanced seat and crooked position?
Knowing that YOU play a big role in your horse's well-being, you're always looking to enhance your balance, flexibility and confidence.
You're not alone.
If you feel that you're not always balanced in the saddle, that your confidence is shaky (at best!), that you're not as supple as you once were...you're not alone.
If you're committed to keeping your horse sound, supple and happy, you're in good company.
And if your relationship with your horse is more important than winning a blue ribbon, you're in the right place!
Imagine you could...
Feel More Balanced, Flexible and Confident - Effortlessly!
Help Your Horse Move with Relaxation, Coordination and Balance
Understand and Bond with Your Horse on a Deeper Level 💗
INTRODUCING Balanced, Flexible and Confident Together!
We're ready to help you and your horse have more balanced, fluid movement, a relaxed mind and a joyful connection.
This one-of-a-kind approach helps you AND your horse reduce the effects of aging, arthritis, injuries or anxiety.
So you and your horse can enjoy moving through life. Together.
Yes, I Want This!You'll discover how to...
You'll improve your body awareness, flexibility and coordination by doing gentle, powerful exercises that are based on the Feldenkrais Method®.
These unmounted exercises are also designed to improve your ability to do the hands-on work with your horse.
You'll learn to control your thoughts and mindset. No matter what's going on around you, you'll have the tools to exchange anxiety for a relaxed, mindful state. After all, your state of mind affects your horse.
And you'll know how to help your horse be more relaxed too!
Whether your horse is a new partner or old friend, you'll get to know your horse better than ever.
You'll learn why your horse may be stiff or resistant in one direction or find it difficult to pick up a canter lead. Or why your horse gets irritated when you start tacking up.
You'll know how to use simple, effective hands-on techniques to improve your horse's body awareness and promote balanced, flexible movement that reduces wear and tear and promotes soundness.
You'll understand the keys to efficient movement, so you can support healthy movement for you and your horse.
There's a sense of joy and lightness that's created when you use your hands and heart to connect with a horse.
It's that magical moment when new movement options suddenly become possible.
It's energizing. And literally heart-warming. I can't wait to teach you how to feel it too!
Decades ago, I had nerve damage, chronic pain and a poor prognosis. And did I mention I was stressed?
I'm so glad that I learned about biological optimism, the idea that virtually everyone, regardless of age or physical condition, can improve. My life transformed in wonderful ways. You and your horse can transform too.
Take a moment and imagine how it'll FEEL when...
Your horse consistently has that look in his eye that tells you that he enjoys spending time with you
You can experience your horse as an individual who has a unique set of life experiences, movement habits, injuries and emotions.
You know how to relieve your horse's tension and restore healthy, fluid movement. You love being able to give back to your horse!
You know how to support your horse. You skillfully use gentle, hands-on techniques to:
- Stimulate balanced, flexible movement
- Speed recovery from injury
- Encourage relaxation and responsiveness
- Make riding easier and healthier for your horse
- Create a positive learning state
- Build trust, confidence and partnership
And it's even more exciting when you realize that you know how to improve how YOU feel and move too!
Here's what we'll cover inside Balanced, Flexible and Confident Together - Level 1
Building a Relationship on Connection, Not Correction
One of the important concepts in this approach is that we connect with our horses and work with them to facilitate improvements, rather than correct or force change on them. We respect the horse's bodily intelligence. In this module, you'll learn WHY this strategy works so well.
When you know WHY you're doing an exercise or hands-on technique, it makes it so much more effective. This module will set you up for success!
As with all the modules, Module 1 includes Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® (ATM) lessons to develop your awareness and improve your movement, so you'll experience the benefits too.
Developing Feel: Noticing Differences That Matter
Throughout this program, you'll learn how to generate improvements by retraining the brain. Your brain and your horse's brain.
And since brains learn by noticing differences, your ability to notice distinctions, especially small, subtle ones, is crucial.
In this module, you'll learn how to feel movement differences. You'll also discover how movement travels THROUGH your horse.
And you'll explore hands-on techniques that can help your horse have a relaxed, supple back and more efficient movement.
The module includes Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® lessons for you too.
Reduce Tension, Increase Strength and Elegance
In this module, you'll learn how to help improve the mobility and flexibility of your horse's back, neck and rib cage. You'll understand how the rib cage affects muscular tension and movement throughout the whole horse!
Chronically contracted muscles don't just feel tight, they can cause stiffness, weakness and fatigue. You'll learn how to increase strength by increasing efficiency of your horse's movement.
You'll also enjoy Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement® lessons designed to enhance the awareness and mobility of your rib cage, which can lead to greater strength and resilience for you too.

Hi, I'm Mary Debono!
You know how people suffer from chronic aches, pains, stiffness or anxiety?
Well, I help people get their body and mind working together so well that they move through life with greater ease, flexibility, confidence and joy.
And I teach them how to help their horses do so too.
With 30 years of experience, I can say that virtually everyone, regardless of age or physical condition, can improve.
A life-long horsewoman, Certified Feldenkrais® Practitioner and Certified NLP Practitioner, I've been a featured presenter at numerous conferences and expos, including: Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA), Progressive Hoof Care Practitioners (PHCP), The Feldenkrais Conference and PATH Int'l.
I'm also a best-selling, award-winning author and international clinician.
In other words, I know a thing or two about improving human and equine movement.
And my #1 mission is to help you and your horse feel great in body and mind. So you can have loads of fun together.
Remember, you and your horse deserve to feel great. Together. I'd love to meet you inside the program!

Testimonials for Mary's Programs
“I did a video in the barn aisle just before I rode. I had a great ride. I felt so solid in my seat and my horse finally gave me her back. I had the best sitting trot I’ve had in a very long time.”
Lisa Gorsuch, M.D.
“Mary has taught me that I don't have to endure any pain, that it is possible to be active, athletic and not have back pain! I could not recommend Mary more highly. She has changed my life!”
Kate Shuster, USDF Gold Medalist and dressage judge
“As an older rider with an older horse there are lots of habitual movement patterns that interfere with fluidity. When Mary breaks things down into small pieces new insight is possible as well as physical growth. Thank you, Mary!”
