We ride too. That’s why we built Equestrain.
We’re here to finally make your workout plan feel like it’s made for you as a rider.

You’re already working hard, you just need the right plan
We know what it’s like to hear “sit taller, relax your legs, keep your shoulders back” and feel frustrated because you're already trying your best.
The truth? Riding more will not fix it because the problem isn’t your effort, it’s that your body isn’t yet prepared to hep you ride at your best.
Equestrain is the first training app designed for riders, built to fit the unpredictable equestrian lifestyle and deliver progress you feel in the saddle.
Two riders, same goal. Two very different problems.
In June 2024, we met two riders who both wanted the same thing: to sit taller and ride in better balance between jumps.
One collapsed into a rounded lower back. The other leaned too far forward with an over-arched back.
Same goal. Opposite problems.
If we had told them both to “just sit more upright,” nothing would have changed.
That’s why we don’t do one-size-fits-all plans.
Instead, we built completely different workout plans — each one based on how they felt in the saddle and the patterns holding them back.
The result? Noticeable improvements in balance and position in under two weeks.
They weren’t just looking for workouts.
They were looking for a way to ride better.
All they had to do was tell us how riding felt. We took care of the rest.

From rider to performance coach
I’ve been riding since I was five. From the first moment I saw a pony, I knew: this was it. I was going to be a rider.
But the dream didn’t go as planned. Two serious knee injuries during my junior years forced me out of the saddle and into recovery.
I had to step back and rethink everything.
That setback led me to study sports physiotherapy and performance coaching. I built my first business, worked with athletes, and slowly found my way back to the sport I’ve always loved.
And that’s when I realized: riders deserve the same level of structured, individualized support as any other athlete.

The setback that redefined my path
In 2020, I set my sights on a full comeback. I bought a promising young mare and poured everything into chasing that dream.
But in April 2022, it all stopped. A torn ACL ended my hopes of competing again — for good.
What felt like the end of my riding career became the start of something bigger: the chance to help other riders build the strength, resilience and confidence I had been searching for myself.

Losing my own chance to compete didn’t end my journey in riding — it redefined it.
I realized I could give back to the sport in a different way: not as a top-level rider, but as a performance coach who understands what it feels like to always want more from yourself in the saddle.
That’s why I built Equestrain — to give riders the structure, support and individualized training I had always been searching for.

Why Equestrain exists
Our mission is simple: to support dedicated riders who want to keep improving.
That’s why we built Equestrain — to give riders the kind of structure and support usually reserved for top athletes, in a way that finally fits into a busy equestrian life.
Because every rider’s body, goals and daily life are different — and your training should be too.
