Hi! I'm Michelle Binder and I am happy to welcome you to Spokane Washington and the Relational Riding Academy webpage. This site is designed to introduce you to the concepts and ideas behind Relational Riding and give you a convenient place to purchase the horse training DVD "any Horse, any Rider." At Relational Riding Academy you or your children can take horseback riding lessons, lease a horse or board your own horse, and have your horse professionally trained. At RRA you can become involved in horse related activities of all kinds in the greater Spokane area. This site contains lots of information about the riding lesson and horse training program, what Relational Riding is and about the equine rehabilitation program we are blessed to have. Read the rehab stories on the pages behind the link "Horses". Proceeds from purchases you make here go towards saving and caring for horses that are starved, injured, or suffering from illness and disease. Please visit the RRA store and help us help the horses that come to us.
We are pleased to have completed work on the new horse training DVD "any Horse, any Rider". Please click on the DVD cover picture on the right to watch the 4 minute trailer for the video as well as the 16 minute bonus feature "Every Horse Is Worth It." This bonus feature tells the stories of the RRA horses, rehabilitated at the farm and who starred in the DVD. Also on that page you can purchase this full length horse training DVD feature film found on the 2008 "Must Have Gift Lists" in EQUUS, Horse and Rider, Practical Horseman and Dressage Today. Please cruise around in the site and enjoy the pictures, slideshows and videos located on all the pages you find in the horizontal navigation bar at the top of this screen. We hope you are intrigued by the work you see and that you contact us about lessons, clinics and seminars. Check out the Calendar to see where we'll be this spring. Enjoy the site, the stories, pictures and videos that tell about the Relational Riding Academy.

    "Relational Riding Video Education is very happy to be working with TheHorseStudio.com to bring you the horse training DVD "any Horse, any Rider." If you have questions about Dressage or basic equine biomechanics, this DVD will help you understand how every horse can benefit from fundamental dressage training. Plus... it makes understanding biomechanics easy! Designed to cross the boundaries between the disciplines and bridge the gaps between the breeds, "any Horse, any Rider" is a refreshing look at what brings horse people together... simply the love of horses! With this love in our hearts, we use the proceeds from the sale of this DVD to fund the Relational Riding Equine Rehabilitation Program.
