"Before I suffered from lower back pain, my balance & posture needed work & I needed to be stronger. I always found training was so unrelated to our sport so I didn't know what I needed to do.
I now have far less lower back pain, am stronger in the places I need to be & I am much more aware of my body so I'm able to notice weaknesses in myself & the horses more. Katie understands the sport so training is focused on us as equestrian athletes which is so rare but crucial. Katie is always motivating & wants to help me reach my goals & push me beyond them.
My training has helped me mentally too, I always finish my sessions feeling positive & ready to crack on with the horses. I feel I'm now doing my horses justice plus I have finally got some abs!"

"I can quite honestly say it's the first time I've stuck with any fitness for this long. Following hip operations & just getting by with my riding I decided to do something about it. I’ve become so much stronger & this has translated not just into my riding but in my general strength & wellbeing.
Katie’s understanding of what riders do when they're competing is a huge factor in understanding what my body needs for polocrosse & then she tailors my programme to suit this.
I had access to the gym but hardly ever used it, I had PT but I couldn't see or feel the connection between what I was doing & how it helped my riding so they didn’t last long. Not only has my riding improved but I’m also enjoying having far less back & hip pain as I'm stronger. I’ve learnt so much more about nutrition, I’m now make sure the food I’m eating is fuelling me.
It's easy to think we're riding fine & fall into the mindset of ‘I’m active enough because I ride every day’ but until you start training you don't know how much better you can be."

How Event Rider Fitness Works
. In this short video below I'll explain why I started Event Rider Fitness, how my coaching is differs from generic fitness programmes, show you the kind of results riders achieve & help you to choose the programme that's the best fit for your goals.
Passionate about living a healthy lifestyle around my horses, my mission is to educate & empower equestrian women on the importance of a balanced nutrition & training approach to get you long term sustainable results that help to improve your riding & get you living a healthier & happier lifestyle for good.

I want to help you fix your struggles or problems so that you become more confident, comfortable & ultimately more competent in your riding. My training approach is about keeping things simple, focusing on specific riding movement patterns & muscle groups to get you progress & become stronger & fitter.
Focusing on areas such as single limb work to help even out muscular imbalances, mobility, hip strength, core stability & glute activation to help you to build your riding strength & give you the results you want.
ā
My true love is my horses. I specialise in coaching female equestrian riders (whether you are a professional competitive rider or a grassroots rider just looking to have fun with your riding) to become fitter & stronger so that you can improve your riding, your well being & life for the long term.
Your fitness is paramount to how you ride and can be the answer to your problems in the saddle. The ability to correct any imbalances in the saddle, strengthen your core muscles and ensure you are pain-free when riding is my mission as well as making you as physically strong as possible so mentally you know you can kick ass!

Getting fit or a training programme shouldn’t be a punishment. It’s an amazing and empowering lifestyle decision that is achievable for every rider, all it takes is a little consistency, direction & hard work.
