You start your ride hopeful and with good intentions but it quickly spirals into the same old problems. You get frustrated, your shoulders tense and you tighten your grip on the reins. Your horse suddenly isn’t responding! By the end of your session, things are a mess. You hang your head, heart heavy, and head back to the barn wondering if you should just give up.
You have big goals for your riding, but the truth is you’re not sure if you can reach them. Are you a good enough rider? Do you have what it takes? (psst- the answer is yes, I’m here to help you get there)
To be successful in your riding you need Education, Community, and Support.
And that’s exactly what you get when you join Strides with Amelia.
With Strides, achieving your goals is as easy as 1,2,3
#1 – 
Education – knowledge gives you the confidence and courage to stride toward your goals because you will have a solution to every problem.
#2 –
Community – friends keep you accountable and inspired to keep going even on the hardest days. Support and celebrate overcoming obstacles together.
#3 – 
Support – every horse is unique, you need individual help and experienced FEI coaches watching your riding to expedite your progress and save you frustration.
I’ve worked with thousands of students and these three pillars guarantee your success.
“I would like to share with you quickly, why Strides is my all time favorite program. I’ve seen this program work for hundreds of riders and I 100% believe that with Strides you will achieve your goals.
Last week, during Strides office hours, one of my original Strides students shared a video of her first flying change! Noriko has been a dedicated student since I started Strides during the pandemic. She comes to the lectures, religiously practices the exercises, and submits her videos for review during office hours. I’ve watched her month after month go from barley being able to balance her horse in the canter, to developing suppleness, engagement and collection, to riding her first flying change!
It’s so special to be able to help students with their horses on the other side of the world. Noriko is just one of many Strides students that I have seen make incredible transformations. Over the past 3 years Strides has evolved and changed into an incredible program and community that provides everything you need to succeed with your horse. When I ask students what is their favorite part about Strides, they all say it’s the community! Strides offers a supportive and encouraging community that will encourage you to work consistently towards your goals!
I would love to have you join us in Strides and I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your horse.
Happy Riding”

Step-by-step exercises are released each month to improve your training regardless of your level!

Learn the ‘why’ behind the exercises we do! Learn the terminology and aids to maximize your time in the saddle.
Come LIVE, or rewatch later.
This is an amazing community of positive, supportive riders. Make friends, get answers to your questions, and exclusive insider tips from Team Amelia in the private Facebook group.
Keep your momentum going all year long with motivation calls and support circles. Develop a virtual ‘barn family’ to help you through the good and the bad!
Complete this course and you are eligible to receive 0.5 credits from USDF per month.

In 2024 we are planning on hosting two 30-day challenges. Strides Members get automatic enrollment into these additional programs at no additional cost.
What you pay for, you own forever! Get lifetime access to the Strides content released during your membership. No matter if you join for a month or 2 years.
Submit YOUR videos for review and Amelia and Team will guide you! Here’s how “office hours” work:
1. Film yourself – submit a 3-5 minute video of your riding or groundwork
2. Join office hours on Zoom
3. Amelia will pull up your video, answer your questions, and give feedback!
Honestly, this might be better than a lesson! You get to actually see what you’re doing wrong. Plus you get the recording and can replay it over and over!
“I think my favourite part about Strides is Office Hours. In my first video, Amelia pointed out a specific aspect of how I collapsed by body and told me how to fix it. IMMEDIENTLY I was able to get all those pesky leg-yields to move over. It was just that one tip and it changed so much! I love that we can continue to get our videos reviewed month over month. Thank you Amelia!”

Strides with Amelia Student
This safe and inviting environment allows you to get feedback on you, and learn from other students’ videos. It does not need to be ‘perfect’ and there are no dumb questions. Even if you don’t submit a video, you can learn by watching others. It’s exciting to celebrate progress with the other students.
This month Strides members got to pick the topic! They picked "Transitions", a great choice as transitions are an essential part of riding.
Whether you're getting out into the show ring this season or just want to stay home practicing, test riding is a great skill to measure your progress and work towards your goals.
Only a rider in the correct position can make clear and effective aids. In this month, we work on developing an independent seat to give clear and effective aids.
Tired of pulling and kicking to get your horse's head down? Don't worry, you're not alone. Learn the step by step process to teach your horse how to accept the bit and lift their back to go round and connected.
Getting tired of hearing 'needs more bend' or feeling like you're riding a 2x4? This month is all about getting your horse bending in the ribcage and becoming more supple. Learn exercises that will keep your horse feeling supple and increase their longevity.
Every wonder how much of your horse's abilities are affected by their body build vs their body development? In this month, we will be reviewing both what to look for in conformation, how to help specific conformation traits, and how you can use your training to benefit your horse's muscular development.
Ever feel like your horse is 2 steps behind your aids? You probably need to learn better timing. Without proper timing, our horses both struggle to learn what we're asking of them, and it's physically impossible for them to respond timely. This month's workshop teach you how to improve your timing and better communicate to your horse.
Connection, Half-halts, and more!
