Equestrian Fitness Academy

The quickest way to fatigue your horse is to interfere with its natural movement and rhythm.

Do what you can to be the best partner! 🏇

🤠 Whether I’m rocking the helmet or the cowboy hat, my mission stays the same helping riders build Stability, Suppleness, Strength, and Stamina in AND out of the saddle.
From arenas to ranches, English to Western, I’ve got your back (and your core). 😉

Which version of me are you riding with today? 😅

Finally got to meet the incredible Lydia Heywood of .ridings in person after what feels like forever of corresponding! 🙌🏾 What an absolute blessing to sit down, chat, and pick her brain about the paths she’s carved in the equestrian world and the shared missions we’re both working toward!

Representation. Diversity. Visibility. 🗓️ ⏳ The work she’s been doing to uplift riders and create opportunities is nothing short of amazing, and I’m beyond excited for the collaborations ahead. To be part of the puzzle that helps this community continue to grow, elevate, and achieve their equestrian dreams is an honor.

Here’s to breaking barriers, building bridges, and ensuring our next generation sees themselves reflected in this sport. 💫 Let’s get to work! ☺️🏇🏾

Beyond grateful to see my work featured in ! Writing ‘Battling Back Pain’ was a meaningful opportunity to share rider specific mobility exercises that strengthen and support riders both in and out of the saddle. This collaboration continues to fuel my passion for improving equestrian wellness and performance.

Improve your mindset - Improve your performance

I love my coaching calls because it allows us to get into the weeds of different things within their life and journey with their horses and goals. The other day we talked about the importance of ‘bulletproofing’ and protecting your thoughts and mindset because ultimately it affects how you ride but also how you communicate with your horse.

Stressed- slumped shoulders
Anxiety- uncertainty (lack of clarity) of aids
Pain- physical imbalances

Just to name a few but these all have an impact on how you ride and what’s taking place. It’s equally important to improve your physical and mental performance simultaneously.

Your horse will thank you…trust me 🙏🏾🐴

What are some ways you work on protecting and improving your thoughts before, during or after each ride? Comment ⬇️

How do YOU prioritize balance, mentally and physically in your horses training regimen?

One of the most important tools for riders to understand is to separate yourself from the feedback/criticism. I see too many riders who take it personally.

Remember, take it as a better way to communicate properly with your horse and improve your partnership.
