Sally
Swift is world-renowned as the founder of Centered Riding®
and has been leading a revolution in rider awareness for the
past 20 years. Many of her groundbreaking techniques for riders
are drawn from her use of the Alexander Technique, the study
of anatomy, and other bodywork methods used for her own physical
therapy to treat scoliosis. The book Centered Riding
first took the horse world by storm in 1985 with innovative
ideas such as "building blocks," "soft eyes,"
"centering," and "breathing." Sally has
continued to develop her ideas over the years and now proudly
oversees a Centered Riding® organization with an active
membership and many instructors Sally trained herself to carry
on her legacy of good riding. Sadly, Sally died in April 2009
three weeks shy of her 96th birthday. She will be dearly missed.
