Be the partner your horse deserves.

Does This Sound Like You?!

  • Posture struggles like slouching, slumping, hollowed back, rounded shoulders, leaning or tipping.

  • You don't trust your balance.

  • Back Pain before, during, or after your rides.

  • Tight hips, tight shoulders, tight aids - you're constantly gripping instead of communicating clearly with your horse.

  • Striving for more flexibility/mobility/agility, but your methods are getting you nowhere.

  • Frustration that you work-out, do yoga & Pilates, obsess over cardio, but you cannot translate your efforts to success in the saddle.

 

Good News: It Doesn't Have to Be This Way!

Imagine if...

You could ride with confidence in your seat.

​​

You knew how to support your spine so that you could maintain your posture with ease.

Your back pain is gone, and you feel strong again.

You could release your tension and let your horse move freely, with clear communication.

You head to the barn, excited and proud of the ROI your hard work is finally getting.

And...

You could breathe better so that you could calm your brain & hone your anxiety.

You were able to engage your core without old-fashioned "core workouts"

You could finally stop feeling frustrated and disheartened that you'll never "get it."

You could implement a simple strategy so that you could feel confident, move dynamically with your horse, and polish your performance.

You had mentorship and guidance from a biomechanics coach - so you never had to feel frustrated, behind, confused, or lost again

Want to make this your reality?!

EquiFormis your pathway to achieve all of this and more!

It's time to invest in yourself, to build the supportive body system your riding requires, and become the partner your horse deserves.

How Does EquiForm Work?

It's quite simple.There are 3 Key Steps to getting the posture & performance you want.

Build Core & Spine Support

Your center of gravity, the space between your navel and pubic bone, has zero deep muscles supporting your spine.

Instead, it needs what we call "intra-abdominal pressure" to create support for your spine. Without it, your spine feels threatened from too much movement.

Breathing engages your core muscles and builds support to keep you upright.

1

Train New Motor Control Patterns

Old muscle & movement patterns are holding you back, and keeping you stuck in tension.

 

Our bodies are masters at compensation and will do anything to keep our eyes on the horizon and our spines safe.

It's time to create genuine stability by unwinding old patterns and training new ones. This involves teaching new brain-to-muscle communication, or motor control.

2

Strengthen Your New Foundation

Once you build true support & genuine stability, you are now free to safely build strength.

 

We keep our spines safe and our breathing centered as we scale the work you've been doing for the next step.

EquiForm incorporates breathwork, functional movement, and bodyweight exercises to build a strong, dynamic, powerful system.

Missing even one of these steps means you won't have the elegant posture or fantastic performance you're working so hard to achieve.

But when you use all three in the right order and integrate them seamlessly into your regular routine...

You are a TERRIFIC fit for EquiForm if:

You are a dedicated horseback rider! You love riding, you're eager to learn more, and you want to be the best partner your horse could ask for.

You are passionately curious about your body! Our bodies want us to be safe and well; sometimes we just don't communicate super well. You want to decode and dive in and learn how to embrace the powerful tools you already have.

You want to be empowered. You are driven to work independently and commit to implementing suggestions into your daily life and your ride. You understand that no coaching program will work unless you implement the strategies being taught.

You want to be a better rider. You're ready for a stronger position, more elegant posture, and clearer communication with your horse.

EquiForm is NOT for you if:

❌ You don't really care about breathing, biomechanics, or learning about your body. You don't find it interesting, you don't want to learn more, you don't want to perform at a higher level.

❌ You want someone to do the work for you - give you the massage, stretch your limbs, put you in your positions. You aren't read to take action on your own.

❌ You're not going to do the work. You aren't coachable, you already know the answers, but you don't really feel motivated to make any changes.

❌ You don't want to be a better rider.  You're happy hacking around, just having fun; but you don't have goals that you are driven to meet.

Are you ready to be the partner

your horse knows you can be?

 
It's time for your ambitions in the saddle to be supported by terrific posture, elegant equitation, reliable balance, a calm & focused mindset, and a dynamic competitive edge.
