Flying Changes Made Simple

Flying Changes Made Simple: Clean, Correct, and on the Aids in Just 6 Months

Break it Down, Focus on the Basics, and Explain the Aids

A lot happens in a split second! Learn my formula, and confirm your changes.

Teaching flying changes doesn't need to be stressful and complicated.

By the end of this program, you'll have mastered (set this up in blocks)

  1. Flying Change Theory - Learn the correct aids, timing, and biomechanics to execute a flying change
  2. Improve your Canter Quality - The more uphill, engaged, and active your canter, the easier the changes
  3. Exercises to teach the changes - you MUST know these figures when introducing the changes
  4. Troubleshooting - solutions for late changes, anticipation, bucking, airs above ground, explosive changes, and more!
  5. Tempi changes and ZigZags - tempi changes, canter half pass zig-zag, one tempi changes and more!
  6. And More!

A good flying change feels like flying - it is the most incredible feeling.

Amelia Newcomb

Hi! I’m Amelia Newcomb, a Grand Prix rider and trainer based in Southern California. I have trained multiple horses and riders to the Grand Prix level and am currently a member of the USEF Development Program and recipient of the Carol Lavell Advanced Training Grant with my horse Harvard. I am passionate about teaching riders of all levels and helping you “learn to love your ride.”

With well over 50,000 hours in the saddle and training thousands of horses and riders, I can tell you that focusing on your riding position is the number one thing you can do to improve.

Riding your horse in balance from your seat is not only easier for the rider, but it’s more enjoyable and clearer for your horse to understand your aids.

I’ve designed this challenge to give you the education, support, and a deadline to give you the motivation you need to transform your position. I’ve taught thousands of horses and riders by using this system, and I KNOW it will work for you.
