Ride and Move Better – Live and Work Happier

Caught a glimpse of your posture changing in the mirror and thought, ‘When did that happen?’
Feeling an odd twinge or stiffness? Movements that just don’t come easily anymore, in daily life
and in the saddle?
Already tried stretching and posture fixes with limited results? These subtle changes creep in quietly, posture problems; long hours sitting, and repetitive movements can all affect your riding posture and daily movement. You might think it’s just your work, with no way around it. Well, there is...
Wave Goodbye to Desk Posture Problems in the Saddle
🖥️ Imagine finishing a full day at your desk without the nagging aches, stiff neck. Or that dreaded moment when you drop a pen and seriously consider leaving it there.
Now picture walking into the yard after work with energy to spare, swinging into the saddle without wincing, and feeling good in your body. No more hips like concrete or shoulders glued to your ears. Feeling that your body is working with you, not against you.
Sitting at a Desk Affects How You Sit in the Saddle
When your job reinforces the same posture patterns day after day, it can feel impossible to make lasting changes.
Does your office lifestyle bring:
Aches, pains, or stiffness?
Riding problems you just can’t shake?
Brain fog, fatigue, or digestive upsets?
You’re not alone; these effects are incredibly common.
My course offers a tailored, practical approach to counterbalance office life on your body, riding, and health. Simple exercises and strategies weave into your daily life, meet your body where it is now, and help you get back to enjoying the things you love doing.


Every movement you make or don’t stack up. Typing at your desk becomes the way you hold your reins. The positions you repeat quietly shape your body, and ultimately the posture you take to the saddle.

I experienced firsthand how quickly hours of computer work can take a toll on posture, cause aches and stiffness, and affect my riding. The good news? It’s reversible. Taking care of your body now not only eases discomfort, it improves your riding and protects and future-proofs your joints.

Your riding position directly affects your horse's movement and how their posture builds. Which can lead to certain movements becoming difficult and may even contribute to some types of lameness.

How Office Habits Sneak Into Your Riding
The postural habits you develop at your desk play a large part in your tendency toward certain riding habits and difficulties.
Your Posture Isn't Set in Stone
Repititive office positions have caused your posture to change. But it can change back and you'll gain practical, actionable ways to restore and maintain your body and prevent desk-life habits from creeping in again!
So you can ride and move more freely.

Meet Your Coach
Samantha Hulme, RES-CPT, EMST, ITEC, OCEPT, BHSAI
Hi there, I'm Samantha and I've been where you are today. The fun times, the eureka moments, the falls, the injuries, and those confusing patches where you feel stuck!
I've seen how everyday habits, especially the office lifestyle, can affect a rider's body, sometimes even more severely than a bad fall from a horse.
For over 25 years, I've worked with (and on) thousands of riders and horses as a Restorative Exercise Specialist for Equestrians, Equine and Human Therapist, and BHS Level 3 Coach. Along the way, I've lectured and performed dissection for the British Horse Society and appeared on BBC TV. I love helping riders and their horses live their best lives.
I've also experienced firsthand how computer work can affect the body, and I've had significant riding injuries that led to years of restrictions and limitations. Today, I'm living proof that these methods can bring lasting change.
I look forward to meeting you in the course!
