Being a Fit Rider
It's NOT about 6 pack abs. It's about being able to put your foot in the stirrup and ride and after an hour not hurt.
​
It's NOT about looking good in the pictures. It is about making your horses job easier by being balanced and fit. It's about feeling good in the pictures.
​
I'm here to tell you that it's achievable. It's 100% achievable. 100%!
My
Fit
Journey
In this video I walk you through my journey from a track and field All-star and barrel racer,
​
through pain and inability,
to a truly fit rider,
to a Beach Body Coach,
to the best health I've ever had mentally and physically.
Carrie, in her calm and humorous way, has taught me how to trust my horse. She has taught me the subtle difference between commanding and communicating. The same difference that allows a horse to use their natural abilities but also respect your leadership. I believe this is the art of a true horsewoman.
Carrie has a great positive perspective and is always sharing tools to keep your mental game strong. I love that she combines her love of horses and fitness because I also believe that the biggest favour you can do for your horse is to be mentally and physically fit.
Thanks Carrie for your friendship and guidance! What you do is really cool!

What is The Fit Rider Challenge?
It's the best thing ever!
​
I host a community of equine enthusiasts in a private group on Facebook. Every Spring and Fall there is a 30 day challenge where participants earn point in horsemanship, nutrition and fitness.
There is an entry fee and the top points earners receive prizes. It's a fun way to reset and refocus your health and wellness. Plus I love mentoring riders and encourage them to level up as well.
For myself being a fit rider is an essential pillar of horsemanship. I want to be the best version of myself when I am with my horses.
