Hello!

My name is Katie and I’m an Equestrian Performance Coach and the Founder of Reformed Riders!

As riders, we spend A LOT of time focusing on our horses. They all have nutrition plans, training plans, regular massages and physio to name a few things we do for them, but how many of us riders have any of the above or ever really focus on us? The crazy part of this is we are half of the team and partnership so have a HUGE influence on overall performance!

Reformed Riders is designed to help us think about ourselves a little bit more! Providing you with fitness tips, workouts, stretches, nutrition advice, habit tracking and of course some ridden exercises in there too!

So a little bit about me … I have been coaching and specialising in rider fitness and biomechanics for over 15 years. I also have over 30 years of ridden experience competing up to national level on many occasions. Along the way, I have focused on gaining many qualifications including an Honours Degree in Human & Equine Sports Performance (Level 6). Alongside many other Equestrian qualifications including being an Accredited Professional BHS Coach, Accredited Pony Club Coach, Accredited Fit To Ride Coach and an Accredited Racewood Coach. I am also a qualified Fitness Coach (Level 2) and Personal Trainer (Level 3) specialising my expertise in rider fitness and function. As well as many other qualifications in fitness, nutrition and mindset coaching.  I have also been fortunate enough to work with all levels of riders from riders just starting their journey to Olympic Event Riders and everything in between.

My aim as a performance coach is to work with riders to improve position, confidence and performance so that they can achieve the most out of themselves and their horses for a perfect partnership. I use a comprehensive approach that combines technical expertise, biomechanical analysis, and personalised training plans to help empower riders to excel in their chosen discipline, whether it's dressage, show jumping, eventing, or recreational riding. My coaching philosophy emphasises building a strong foundation of fundamentals while fostering a positive and supportive learning environment.

My aim with Reformed Riders is to help riders achieve the most they can with their horses. And help you become the best version of yourself to have a better partnership and connection with your horse. We recognise that every rider and horse is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and aspirations. Whether you're navigating a challenging course, executing precise dressage movements, or galloping across open fields, Reformed Riders is designed to enhance your performance and elevate your ride.

So come check us out! Give us a follow! Or come along to an event soon! Hopefully, we can help you to perform at your best!
