RIDER ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT

SPECIALISING IN EQUESTRIAN SPORTS

THE MISSION IS TO INSPIRE RIDERS TO SEE THEMSELVES AS THE ATHLETES THEY ARE & GO ON A JOURNEY OF ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT.

For a long time as an industry, we have developed systems to produce horses through meticulous training, nutrition & recovery, however riders have not received the same support. Despite being 50% of the equation.

EA specialises in developing resilient, high-performing athletes at all levels in show jumping, polo, racing, dressage & eventing.

You’re not just a rider. You’re an athlete.

Whatever equestrian discipline you compete in, your sport demands more than skill with your horse; it demands power in every stride, control in every movement & the capacity to perform at your absolute best, again & again.

We train for those moments that decide results; the take-off over the final fence, the burst down the home straight, the swing that scores the winning goal, the half-halt that rebalances without breaking flow, the final cross-country gallop.

The job is simple: build you into the most powerful, resilient version of yourself so you can own those moments & everything in between.

STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT:

Strength development is the foundation of athleticism.

It makes everything you do in the saddle easier. It allows your position to be sustainable & your skill on the horse repeatable.

Your body becomes capable of doing what you’re asking of it for longer, with less effort.

It builds resilience from the ground up.

The goal is to build the control & strength required to perform in the saddle as if you’re doing nothing.

Maintaining stability, balance & independent, effective aids with a feeling of security & confidence as the horse moves dynamically underneath you.

POWER DEVELOPMENT & EXPRESSION:

Power is your ability to produce force fast.

It’s how you express the strength you’ve built.

In the saddle, this looks like immediate, decisive aids & correct timing under pressure. Timing matters when you have seconds to make something happen. You make changes in the moment, not half a stride later. You stay with the horse, respond faster, riding with more intent & precision.

REPEATABLE HIGH OUT PUT:

Conditioning built for you & your sport.

Correct conditioning allows you to recover faster, perform longer & stay sharp under fatigue. Breathe easy through training & competition.

Quality, accuracy & feel are maintained deeper into the ride.

Decision making stays clear when the body is tired.

Your position & aids don’t fade as fatigue builds.

Performance becomes reliable, not dependent on feeling fresh.
