* Sally Swift (1913-2009), founder of Centered Riding® Inc. Recognized for her influence in riding, Sally Swift received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Riding Instructor Certification program in 1997 and in 2006, at the age of 93, Sally was inducted into the United States Dressage Foundation's Hall of Fame, an honor reserved for those persons who have had a major impact on horseback riding.
Centred Riding: Sally Swift began, and continued, to study the Alexander Technique™ and applied it to riding. Sally's work with the Alexander Technique™ enabled her to discard the back brace she had worn for many years. The Alexander Technique™ is a method of re-educating the mind and body towards greater balance and integration with special reference to posture and movement. As she developed her techniques and taught people about the Four Basics of Centered Riding, the demand for Centered Riding clinics and Instructor clinics blossomed and has since become a worldwide organization with members all across the United States, Canada, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark , England, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, and Switzerland.
