We’re a couple weeks into the New Year, and I hope you are feeling prepared and excited for the coming months of 2025! There has already been so much going on, with the holidays, setting your New Year’s resolutions and goals, and getting back to work after time off, I hope you’re getting a moment to yourself to relax and just enjoy your horse. Speaking of busy schedules, I just wanted to make sure you’re caught up and give you a sneak peek at what we have coming up soon in our Amelia Newcomb Dressage community!
A Successful Bootcamp
To ring in the New Year, I decided to do something a little different for 2025. As many of you may know, I usually host a Free Virtual Goal Setting Webinar to kick off the New Year and help you get started working on your 2025 goals with your horse.
This year, however, instead of hosting a one day event, I hosted a five day Online Riding Bootcamp focused on goal setting and making a plan for the New Year ahead.
While I knew that the lectures were good, I was blown away by how many riders joined us and what great questions they came up with. We had over 8,000 riders from all over the world join our Bootcamp! Here’s what a few riders had to say about their experience:
“The Boot Camp has been so fun to follow along with even though I no longer have my own horse. The passion is still there after 46 years of riding and owning horses. Amelia’s enthusiasm and desire to help fellow equestrians is immeasurable.” – Cindy
“I think we need to have bootcamp every month! Every one is so inspired!” -Sharm
“I am feeling so inspired after bootcamp! It was everything I needed to start off this year.” – Breanna
AI Videographers are Here!
Tired of begging your family and friends to come to the barn to video you ride? I know many riders who have this exact same struggle, which is why I love PIVOs so much!
With a PIVO, all you need to do is set it up, attach your phone, and the PIVO technology turns your phone into an automatic videographer that tracks you as you ride!
For a limited time, when you purchase a PIVO you can use the code AMELIA to get 10% discount!

Train Your Eye with Rider Cathy
Ever wondered how your trainer sees your problems and just magically knows what to do to fix them? It’s been a while since we’ve done one of our Train Your Eye rider highlights, but you might enjoy looking back through the series.
In this particular Train Your Eye, Cathy from my online community sent in a photo, and I recommend some ways to help her with straightness and symmetry.
Canter with Confidence
Struggling with your canter? I have many Free Resources on my Website, but my Free Canter with Confidence Guide is perhaps my most popular. Inside, you will find videos on all aspects of cantering from how to ask for the canter to how to sit the canter, to a few of my favorite patterns to improve your canter quality!

Learn From Me in Person
Though my online programs are popular around the world, I often have riders ask me if I ever travel to give clinics in-person. And the answer is yes! I do travel around the US to teach.
If you’d like to book a clinic with me in 2025, now’s your chance, as I’m working on finalizing my 2025 clinic schedule!
Share Your Story!
Have you been enjoying my weekly YouTube videos, free training resources (like Bootcamp!), or one of my paid programs? I’d love to hear from you in a Google review!
Reviews help me out by spreading the word to riders around the world that online training works and Dressage for All is real! If you have five minutes, I’d love to hear what part of our community you enjoy the most or how my online trainings have helped you and your horse!

Sneak Peek
As you probably know, I release a new training video to help you improve your riding each Wednesday! This week’s video was “What to do When Your Horse Jigs”, and we have more great topics coming up over the next couple weeks on half-halts, contact and connection, and more!

A Lesson in Your Ear
I LOVE having lessons! Directions and exercises always improve my ride. Someone in my ear boosts my confidence, gives me a plan and makes me successful with my horse. And my Ride Along Podcasts will do the same for you!
I want to give you a lesson, even though I am miles away. Let me help you have a great ride!
Students of mine are already loving these podcasts where we work through the warm-up, transitions, reminders about your rider position and more! It is almost as good as having a lesson with me. I give you directions to boost your confidence by reminding you to look up, breathe, and reward your horse!
Happy riding this month,
Amelia
P.S. Did you see that I released a bonus video this week? Sometimes I release an extra video about riding, and this time it was about tack and equipment fit. Watch the video here.
