About your Coach
Hi! I’m Amelia Newcomb, a Grand Prix rider and trainer based in Southern California. I have trained multiple horses and riders to the Grand Prix level and am currently a member of the USEF Development Program and recipient of the Carol Lavell Advanced Training Grant with my horse Harvard. I am passionate about teaching riders of all levels and helping you “learn to love your ride.”
With well over 50,000 hours in the saddle and training thousands of horses and riders, I can tell you that focusing on your riding position is the number one thing you can do to improve.
Riding your horse in balance from your seat is not only easier for the rider, but it’s more enjoyable and clearer for your horse to understand your aids.
I’ve designed this challenge to give you the education, support, and a deadline to give you the motivation you need to transform your position. I’ve taught thousands of horses and riders by using this system, and I KNOW it will work for you.
This challenge is not for you if...
You only want to ride on 'the best' days.
To truly make strides in your training, you need to have consistency and be working on yourself 5 days a week. Even through the rain or days where you're tired. Consistency is more important than perfection!
Your horse is unsafe or unsuitable for you.
Safety first - we always recommend seeking professional training if you feel that your horse is unsafe or that you might get hurt. It's always better to have a trainer than risk getting hurt or having a bad experience!
You want every ride to be planned out for you.
This is not a cookie-cutter "do this, then that" program. You'll be given the education and skills to plan out your own ride and training. Each horse and rider is a little different so you will adapt the program to suit your needs.
You expect to be debuting Prix St. George or Grand Prix within the year.
Dressage is a slow sport - it takes a lot of patience and perseverance! When you follow this program, you'll become a better rider and your horse will develop more than EVER before, but it still takes years for a horse and/or rider to develop the talent, strength, and ability to be an FEI Grand Prix rider.
Ride with Harmony in just 30 days.

FAQ
The challenge ‘officially’ starts on May 1st 2023, but as soon as you purchase you get lifetime access and can get started! The Challenge ends on May 30th 2023 at 11:55pm PST.
You will have lifetime access to the material! While the competition itself and the guided live feedback is only during the competition period (ending May 30th 2023). You will always have access to the material to keep working away at it!
We have cash prizes totally over $5,000 USD and Amelia Swag prizes including: vests, shirts, hats, waterbottles, and more.
Consistency is key to getting a big transformation. If you only ride a lesson horse 1-2 times a week you will still see results by joining this challenge. But the more you work on your position the better they will be, we recommend 4-5 times a week. Remember though, this is quality over quantity. Every session doesn’t have to be a long one (sometimes it’s only 10 min!) and it’s important to listen to your body and your horse.
No problem at all! This can be a challenge with yourself!
This course is designed for horses and riders of ALL levels. Whether you are a beginner Dressage rider just learning about Dressage, or you are an FEI rider, Rider Position is something you’re always working on.
This challenge is designed for riders and trainers of all levels. Whether you are just starting out or riding FEI, you can still be competitive in this challenge. Winners are selected based on how much they have improved compared to the start of the challenge. Not who is the best overall.
To put it simply: Who ever improves the most, WINS! Our panel of judges reviews and compares your beginning and end videos and uses the following categories to judge: 3 focused areas you ID’d, Assessment of Position in the Gaits shown (symmetry & straightness, steady, soft contact, and steady, supple position), Assessment on ability to maintain your position during tactful, willing, and effective transitions, Overall Harmony and General Impression and Participation in the Facebook Group
You should still join! While you won’t be eligible for prizes, this challenge is chalk full of valuable information that you have LIFETIME access to! So you can go through it whenever you want -and at whatever pace you want.

No. You don’t need to be on Facebook. You can download all of the educational content to your phone. If you have a question or want to join a LIVE session we recommend joining Facebook!
