Classical Training with Pivo
Pivo enables me to communicate and train you and your horse in real time, wherever you live in the world. It uses advanced horse tracking technology to follow your movements around an arena, ensuring smooth and consistent footage of you and your horse.
As a trainer, I’ve found this to be an incredibly powerful tool; it’s truly transformed the way I connect with my students and their horses. I’m able to observe you riding as if I were right there with you at home or in your yard, offering real-time guidance and support throughout the entire session. It’s taken my coaching to a whole new level.
This approach has allowed riders to experience a much deeper connection with their breath, both in the saddle and during groundwork. I can share intuitive insights in the moment, helping you respond to your horse in a way that fosters true connection and understanding.
These principles have proved particularly valuable for riders experiencing stress, anxiety and trauma. In a recent online session with riders and trainers supporting people living with PTSD, we explored how greater awareness of breathing, energy and emotional state can help create confidence, balance and trust with horses. Read more about supporting riders with PTSD through horse-human connection.
No matter where you live, as long as you have a good Wi-Fi connection, we can begin a training journey together with Pivo. Your first Pivo session is free, this is so we can ensure that you have set up your smartphone in the best position so that I can see you clearly and that we are well prepared for future lessons.

Paulina Marczykiewiczuses uses bone conduction headphones, as they allow her to hear her horse and her breathing during the lesson and are kinder to the ears.

Happy Pivo riders…
“I am a big fan of technology and anything that brings progress and ease to everyday life. Since I wanted to have lessons with Jenny despite being miles away, I decided to give it a try and purchased a Pivo, along with the stand device and a good pair of Bluetooth headphones with a microphone. I place the stand in the middle of the arena as I often do exercises in a circle and it’s as if Jenny is in the centre, helping me with corrections. You could place your Pivo on a chair, mounting block or fence instead, depending on how secure it is. The lessons have been great, and I feel like Jenny is right there with me in the arena! When I recently visited Jenny with Harpa, we had the chance to compare our virtual lessons with in-person ones. We were both amazed that nothing was missed!”

An extra advantage is that you can use Piivo to record your rides or take photos for your own assessments.
“Thank you for a fabulous Pivo session it was so lovely to have you in my ear and it really was like having you there! I couldn’t get over how much detail you can pick up even down to my wrists holding tension in them. I can’t get over what a progression both Kimero and I made in such a short time, really looking forward to being able to have regular Pivo sessions with you from now on.”
— Emma Beasley
“I wish I had Pivo lessons earlier! I knew my mare was sensitive to my energy, but I wasn’t ready for the connection that occurred when I controlled my breath. I can’t wait for my next lesson.”
