review
Many riders join the Mounting Challenge expecting to just learn to mount safely, but they discover it’s about so much more. Horses become calmer, curious, and confident, while riders feel more aware, relaxed, and connected.
Many have gone before you and still enjoy the results every day, your horse feels understood, eager to learn, and connected with you as a true partner.
"What I like, and didn’t expect, is that it’s not just a mounting challenge, it’s so much more. You actually get a complete groundwork basics course included!"
Priscilla
"I did this course with my 2.5-year-old as preparation for riding. It was so detailed that I gained much more than just riding prep. My young horse was well-mannered after completing the course, and I learned a ton about how to mentally support both me and my horse."
Debbie
"I really benefited a lot from the challenge. Parking is now part of our routine. It’s ideal on trail rides when I want to mount from a bench or a tree trunk. The explanation is so clear and broken down into steps that anyone can do it."
Sasha
“The challenge was really valuable for me. By filming myself, I could clearly see the differences between my video and Celine’s, which showed me exactly what I can still improve.”
Tessa
You don’t feel a connection with your horse.
You’re not sure how to build up a training.
Either your horse or both of you lack confidence.
Handling your horse in daily routines feels difficult.
Everyday interactions with your horse often cause problems.
Your horse won’t stand still next to the mounting block.
Your horse doesn’t allow you to hop on.
Absolutely. The videos are really easy to follow, so everyone can understand and practice the exercises at home together with their horse. Céline speaks calm and clear English, and the course is developed for every level, every type of horse, and every owner.
In short: it’s for anyone who is willing to learn and grow.
Don’t rush! Every person and horse learns at a different pace. Take your time it’s perfectly okay to go slower, and your horse will thank you for it. Practicing 3 to 4 times per week helps create consistency, but it’s just as important to maintain a pace that works for both you and your horse. It’s better to practice less often and take your time than to rush through the exercises. And if you get stuck, remember support is always available.
You have access for 3 months. But don’t rush, three months should be enough. And if you do need more time, we offer the option to extend your access afterwards at a discounted rate.
