Online Courses

I focus on what works and I can’t wait to share that with your horse AND you.

My online courses let you benefit from my decades of training no matter where you’re located in the world.

Each course, includes step-by-step guides to tune up your horse’s overall fitness, postural muscles, and balance. While we focus on the three most important aspects: Improving Horse Fitness, Enhancing Comfort of Movement, and Increasing Overall Athleticism.

Best of all, the course material NEVER expires, you can go at your own pace, and you can always return for a review or refresh.

Custom Fitness Plans

Enjoy the results of a training and conditioning plan made specifically for your horse. Have you ever wondered which exercises are best for your horse? Or how to add fitness progressively without over- or under-exerting? Take the guesswork out and receive a day-by-day plan that covers 4 weeks of training prescriptions.

My approach has solved problems for horses struggling with balance and strength, finding correct movement, rehabbing from injury, and performance anxiety/burnout.

I have also designed plans for senior equine athletes and those transitioning from groundwork to riding after prolonged time off.

Clinics & Workshops

Throughout the year, I offer a limited number of in-person clinics and workshops.

My clinics offer a calm, positive environment where you will learn both how to do specific moves but more importantly, you’ll also learn

why to include this in your equine’s fitness plan.

I teach you how to effectively ask your horse to move.

Horses and riders just like you leave clinics fitter, with more comfort in movement, with a greater level of athleticism, and with a game plan for future training to address weak spots or imbalances.

What Type of Exercise Suits Your Horse Best?

This allows muscle fibers and energy systems to be recruited, taxed, and then recover. The body absorbs the exercise stimulus this way as opposed to just tolerating it. There is a big difference between the body adapting to training on a weekly basis versus going through the motions without underlying physiologic changes.

Horse Heart Rates

and Training

While dressage— and other arena sports— places relatively low aerobic demands on horses, emerging studies have shown that occasional exercise at higher heart rates may improve muscle function.

Let’s explore the use of heart rates during arena training, and how riders can use it to improve physiology.

How to Keep You Horse Fit

Without Riding

As the shorter, colder winter months settle in, brief but purposeful groundwork sessions become critical for a horse's physiology. Granted, fitness-based groundwork will not keep a horse at peak performance level, but it will prevent total erosion of neuromuscular and metabolic fitness during times of abbreviated schedules.
