The Total Self-Carriage Training Program: A Complete System for Transforming Your Equitation

The Total Self-Carriage Training Program is designed to give you everything you need to elevate your equitation and deepen your connection with your horse. It’s a comprehensive system that combines four powerful programs, each targeting a specific element of rider biomechanics and equestrian fitness. Together, they create a transformative experience—but each program also stands strong on its own, allowing you to focus on the area that matters most to you.

Each Program Stands Alone, But Together They Create Total Self-Carriage

Whether you’re ready to dive into the full program or prefer to focus on one specific area, you’ll see real progress in your riding. Here’s what’s included:

Foundation Seat
Build the essential strength, balance, and awareness needed to create a stable, functional seat. This is where every great rider begins.

Independent Seat
Develop the control and coordination to move with your horse, not against them. This program focuses on refining your aids and creating harmony in the saddle.

Hypopressives
Unlock your core strength and improve your posture with this revolutionary breathing and fitness technique. Perfect for riders looking to enhance their stamina and pelvic health.

In Self-Carriage Community
Join a supportive group of like-minded riders who are committed to growth. With live classes, expert coaching, and accountability, this community helps you stay on track and motivated.

Choose Your Path to Progress

Want it all? The Total Self-Carriage Training Program combines all four elements into one seamless system, giving you the ultimate toolkit to transform your riding.

Prefer to focus? Each program is available as a standalone option, so you can target the area that aligns with your current goals.

No Matter Your Choice, You’ll See Results

Whether you sign up for the entire package or choose to focus on one specific program, you’ll make meaningful gains in your equitation. Each piece of the Total Self-Carriage system is designed to help you move better, ride better, and connect more deeply with your horse.

This isn’t just about improving your riding—it’s about becoming the kind of rider your horse loves to carry.

The independent seat workouts and monthly challenges are my favourite! They motivate me to get out there and work with my horse while working toward goals that strengthen our communication and connection.

I’m obsessed with the low-impact workouts of hypopressives! They’ve massively improved my breathing, focus, and stamina—both in and out of the saddle. It’s a next-level-shift for my riding and overall fitness!

My equitation has completely transformed—balance, coordination, strength, and endurance are all better than ever. Now, my coach and I are making amazing progress with my horse’s training. It’s been such a rewarding shift!

What is Self-Carriage?

The concept of self-carriage refers to a horse being able to maintain its posture independently without relying on constant aids from the rider for support.

In order to accomplish this, the rider must also work towards their own self-carriage. This involves riders being light, sensitive, and in command of their movements. It's essential to sustain your posture without depending on the horse for support. Once you achieve this feeling you are one step closer in the pursuit of horsemanship.

Why Total Self-Carriage is the Ultimate Equestrian Fitness Program

If you’re ready to transform your riding and create true harmony with your horse, the Total Self-Carriage (TS-C) program is designed to help you achieve exactly that. Unlike other equestrian fitness programs, TS-C is built to directly improve your coordination, alignment, stability, and harmony in the saddle—all while keeping you motivated, accountable, and supported every step of the way.

Here’s what makes Total Self-Carriage truly unique:

1.  Live Classes to Keep You Motivated + Accountable

  • Live, ongoing classes: Choose from 8 live classes per week, including warm-ups, anatomy classes, and challenges.
  • Real-time coaching: I’m here to guide you, answer your questions, and keep you on track.
  • Private community support: Share your progress, videos, and successes in our exclusive community (off social media!) to stay accountable and inspired.

2.  Flexible Training That Fits Your Schedule

  • Recorded classes: Can’t make it live? No problem. Access recordings anytime, so you can train at your convenience, no matter your time zone.
  • Bi-weekly live meetups: Dive deeper with live meetings every two weeks to learn anatomy, discuss monthly challenges, and reflect on changes in the saddle.

3.  Designed for All Riders + Disciplines

  • Whether you’re a dressage rider, jumper, or trail enthusiast, TS-C is not limited to a specific discipline. It’s for anyone looking to improve stability, balance, and mobility with their horse.

4.  A Proven System for Better Riding

  • Structured exercises: Build body awareness and learn to use your seat, hands, and legs independently.
  • Functional anatomy classes: Understand how your body moves in the saddle and gain confidence in your riding.
  • Targeted strength training: Focus on the muscles that matter most for riding—pelvic floor, diaphragm, shoulders, iliopsoas, hip joints, feet, and hands.
  • Full-range movements with resistance: Train for stability, endurance, and strength during trotting, cantering, and beyond.

5.  Focus on Coordination + Proprioception

  • Enhance your coordination, balance, and movement skills with exercises designed to improve your connection with your horse.
  • Identify areas for improvement and gain insights into your movement patterns to create lasting change.

6.  A Community That Supports Your Growth

  • The In Self-Carriage Community is your safe space to connect with like-minded riders, share wins, and stay accountable. Whether you’re training at home or at a facility, you’ll have the support you need to stay consistent and motivated.
