Equine Bodywork Therapist
As an Equine Sports and Rehabilitation Massage Therapist (cert. ESMT), Ross offers soft-tissue bodywork sessions alongside applying his knowledge of equine biomechanics in improving functional movement, posture and rehabilitation in training.
Through Rosca Horsemanship, Ross Cooper embodies ‘connection through communication’, his innovative approach to modern day horsemanship, promoting true unison between you and your horse.
With one of the most intuitive approaches to horsemanship in the UK, and a background in natural, western and classical horsemanship, Ross does not affiliate solely with any, yet integrates them as one to create adaptive and tailored training for the individual horse, promoting functionality in the foundation and long-term soundness in mind and body; a true approach to whole-horse development.
Established on values, not methods, Ross prioritises behavioural feedback to create a two way conversation that enhances emotional and biomechanical balance within a training environment, taking in to account both intrinsic and extrinsic factors that may effect this, encompassing the latest guidance from behavioural sciences (Equine Behaviour Consultant/Level 3 Equine Psychology) for effective and ethical training,
Ross applies his effective approach over a broad range of hands-on training areas and supportive coaching, from behavioural rehabilitation and foundation-based groundwork through to ridden training and advanced horsemanship, achieving positive lasting results through effective communication in a way the horse can understand.
Working in a relational way to include dynamics that contribute to the horse-human relationship, Ross integrates perceptive people-skills as an experienced coach (British Reining UKCC Level 2 in Western Riding / ABRS UKCC Level 2 / ABWE Accredited Instructor) with the knowledge of horse and rider biomechanics to provide multi-disciplinary coaching for all skill-sets and ages, whether this be to achieve a long term goal, improve confidence on the ground or enhance skill in a specific area in the saddle; Ross will bring out the best of both of you with his fun, dynamic and effective teaching style and you will learn more than just how to ride.
Centrally located in the United Kingdom on the border of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, The Midlands, Ross commutes Nationwide to you for private and group lessons, clinics, demonstrations and workshops throughout the year.
Ross is always happy to hear from you regarding lessons, clinics and venue collaborations in the UK, EU and Worldwide.
