AERA ONLINE
12 WEEKS PROGRAMME
Welcome to the AERA Online Coaching Programme
This isn’t just a series of lessons—it’s a guided, personal journey into horsemanship. Whether you’re drawn to groundwork, riding, horse care, or simply building a more thoughtful connection with your horse, this 12-week programme is shaped around you.
​
We begin with a relaxed, in-depth conversation to understand what lights you up about learning, how much time you have, what kind of support suits you, and how you learn best. From there, we’ll create a clear, personalised learning map—one that fits your life, reflects your values, and supports meaningful progress.
​
This service is ideal for riders who are:
​
-
Motivated to work independently with personal guidance.
-
Comfortable using simple technology (phone, laptop) to record and share videos of their training sessions.
-
Excited to explore creative, mindful solutions to strengthen their connection with their horse.

Weekly 1:1 Video Coaching Calls
These are the heart of the programme. Each call builds on the last, designed to grow your awareness, skillset, and confidence.

Post-Session Check-ins

All are designed to encourage curiosity and creative problem-solving.
I'm just finishing my first month of the 3-month online coaching programme with Wiola, and I’m already seeing such a shift — not just in Jasper, but in myself.
The weekly calls give me the structure and accountability I’d been missing, and Wiola’s video feedback is incredibly thoughtful and detailed.
Her insights have helped me understand how my posture, energy, and timing affect everything I do with my horse.
​
At first, figuring out how to film my sessions felt like a hurdle, but with a few simple tweaks, it’s now become second nature — and a part of how I reflect and learn.
We’ve been focusing on groundwork and relationship-building as I bring Jasper gently back into work, and I’m learning to notice the smallest cues and communicate with more clarity and intention.
​
This programme is helping me organise my training, stay motivated, and build a true partnership — not just work through exercises. If you're on the fence about online coaching, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Tailoring Your Pathway
Once we've established our compatibility and you are happy to sign up for a series of sessions, it's time to transition from conversation to action. For the programme, we ask for a minimum commitment of 12 weeks.
​
Together, we'll delve into the finer details. We'll explore your preferred learning style and how best we can assist you long distance, identify your training priorities (groundwork, behaviour, specific ridden skills etc), and understand whether you thrive within your comfort zone or prefer to push your boundaries a little further
