"You’ve given me back the joy in riding"
Rachel
You’re relying on the reins
and it's confusing your poor horse!
A rider in an arena on a brown horse; text lists common rider training issues on the left and horse issues on the right, highlighting how rider actions affect the horse’s behavior and movement.
It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

The fear, the frustration, and the sinking feeling that no matter how hard you try, it’s just not working.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. You can feel the joy in riding!

From the desk of Amelia Newcomb….

A smiling person in a riding helmet stands between two chestnut horses whose heads are touching, forming a heart shape—capturing true harmony and connection. Lush green foliage fills the background in this V1 Round 2024 moment.
Dear Rider, I know exactly how you feel because
I’ve been there

When I first started riding, I was terrified. I fell off thirteen times the first year. My friends would chatter excitedly on the way to the barn about riding a new horse or going out on a trail ride, but I was scared and had no confidence. I only wanted to ride Galen, the safest school horse, because I was so afraid of falling off yet again. And if my trainer had me canter, I would have blisters on my hands by the end of the ride because I was holding so tightly onto the reins.  It was an awful feeling.  

The fear, the frustration, and the sinking feeling that no matter how hard you try, it’s just not working.

But little by little, I developed an independent seat.

I learned how to sit the trot and balance in the canter. My seat connected. My hands softened. My horse became responsive and calm. And that terrible fear was replaced by confidence, joy, and a deep connection with my horse.

Today, riding is my passion. I compete in the Grand Prix with my horse, Harvey, and I’ve dedicated my life to helping riders like you discover the magic of riding with balance and harmony.

That’s why I created The Rider Position Blueprint.

Why Is Your Position So Important?

Your horse is your mirror. If you’re out of balance, stiff, or uncoordinated, your horse will be too.

A person in a helmet and riding attire is smiling while showing excellent rider position on a dark horse with white leg wraps and a white saddle pad in an outdoor arena surrounded by trees.

If your horse is on the forehand → You’re leaning forward and balancing on the reins.

If your horse is lazy → You’re gripping and nagging with your leg.

If your horse is crooked → You’re sitting crooked.

If your horse is tense and nervous → You’re holding your breath and stiff.

The truth is, your horse’s performance depends on your position.

The good news is that with the right tools and guidance, you CAN fix your position and unlock a new level of connection and harmony with your horse.

This is exactly what you will learn inside the Rider Position Blueprint

But, Here’s the Problem: Most Riders Focus on the WRONG THINGS:

Your hands are NOT the problem...
...or the solution. In fact, your hands are the last things to fix in your position.
Bold, black text in all capital letters reads: IF NOT US, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN? The letters are stacked in a pyramid-like arrangement on a plain white background—an inspiring call for perfecting your Rider Technique.

When I was learning to ride, and falling off all the time, I relied way too much on my hands – making my horse tense and nervous. I designed this Rider Position Scale, to teach you where to start:

1

Alignment

The foundation of the correct rider position

2

Seat

The main connection point between you and your horse.

3

Legs

Keep you grounded and balanced.

4

Hands

They will resolve themselves 😃.

Here’s the second problem
You have limited time in the saddle and sometimes your body and brain just don’t cooperate.

I’ve found that the secret to fixing your position is developing the correct fitness routine. 

After breaking my left collar bone, my trainer was constantly yelling at me to bring my left shoulder back.  It wasn’t until I worked with a physical therapist and learned to stretch and strengthen my shoulder off of the horse that I was able to do it in the saddle.

THE EXERCISE

THE RESULT

I’ve trained thousands of adult amateur riders. And the successful ones ALL follow a fitness routine.

I’ve developed exercises specific for riders, so that you can mimic and improve your rider position, even when you’re not in the saddle!
