Equestrian Performance Workshops for Teams, Coaches & Barns
Improve rider balance, confidence & body control off the horse — without adding to your coaching workload.
Rider Brain • Rider Body • Rider World
Why Equestrians Train Differently with MRT
Most equestrians don’t struggle because they’re “out of shape.” They struggle because their body, mind, and habits aren’t working together as a rider.
The MRT Method is a performance system that blends:
Equestrian Biomechanics
Training built around how riders actually move — improving balance, posture, symmetry, and control in the saddle.
Strength, Mobility & Rider Fueling
Functional strength, stability, and mobility designed to enhance leg strength, core control, and overall riding performance.
Rider Mindset & Identity
Tools that build confidence, focus, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of rider identity — crucial for consistent performance.
Martial Arts Mechanics
Unique movement training from Taekwondo that improves reaction time, coordination, body awareness, and mental discipline.
High-Performance Habits
A structured system that helps riders build discipline, consistency, and lifestyle habits that support better riding long-term.
A Proven, Integrated Method
A complete rider development framework (Rider Brain → Rider Body → Rider World) that trains the whole athlete, not just the muscles.
What Riders Improve Through MRT
Most equestrians don’t need harder workouts — they need a training system that improves how their body, mind, and habits work together in the saddle. MRT focuses on the core elements that matter to rider performance.
Balance & Body Control
Develop smoother, more coordinated movement in the saddle through improved stability and symmetry.
Leg Strength & Lower-Body Stability
Increase strength, endurance, and precision through the aids without gripping or losing position.
Discipline & Consistency
Establish habits, routines, and structure that support long-term progress and rider development.
Core Strength & Posture
Build a supported, upright position that enhances communication, alignment, and overall riding effectiveness.
Confidence & Mental Focus
Strengthen the mental skills riders need to stay calm, sharp, and in control under pressure.
Overall Rider Fitness, Mobility & Fueling
Reduce tension, improve mobility, and develop efficient movement patterns — supported by simple nutrition habits that help riders feel stronger and more energized.
The MRT Method
A complete rider development system built around three core pillars — the mind, the body, and the daily habits that shape rider performance. Each pillar works together to create stronger, more balanced, more confident equestrians.
-
Rider Brain
The mental and identity side of riding — focus, confidence, emotional regulation, and the ability to stay grounded under pressure.
Riders develop the mindset and mental clarity needed for consistent, controlled performance. -
Rider Body
Strength, mobility, balance, biomechanics, and nutrition.
This pillar improves posture, alignment, leg strength, core control, and overall stability in the saddle — while teaching riders how to fuel properly for performance, energy, and recovery. -
Rider World
The habits, routines, disciplines, and lifestyle structure that support long-term development.
This pillar ensures riders stay consistent, accountable, and aligned with their goals — both on and off the horse.
How the MRT System Works
A clear, structured pathway that helps barns develop stronger, more balanced riders — starting with an on-site workshop and flowing into deeper rider development programs.
-
Your barn receives a tailored, on-site session focused on posture, balance, biomechanics, and rider control. Riders gain immediate improvements they can apply in the saddle the same day.
-
Riders can book an individual mounted biomechanical assessment during the workshop event.
Each rider receives:Personalized movement analysis
Identification of asymmetries and position faults
Custom drills to correct instability, tension, or weak patterns
A clear improvement roadmap for their goals
These assessments provide a performance roadmap for each rider. -
After the workshop + assessment, riders select the program level that fits their needs:
