If you want to feel less stiff, stronger, and more balanced both in and out of the saddle, keep reading.
Does this sound familiar?
You swing a leg over and immediately feel tight through your hips
You struggle to sit evenly — and don’t always realise when you’re not
Your instructor says “sit taller”, but your body won’t cooperate
You feel stronger on some days… and completely stuck on others
Your shoulders round, and you struggle to keep consistent rein contact
Then this program was built for you.
You Don't Have a Riding Problem
You Have a Desk-Life Problem
You arrive at the yard excited to ride… but your body feels tight, stiff and tired.
You blame your riding. But it started at your desk.
Hours of sitting and repetitive movement patterns quietly shape the way your body moves — in and out of the saddle.
Because you ride how you move.
It's Not That You're A Bad Rider
It’s hard to ride when you’re fighting against your own body.
Your body adapts to what you do most
Hours at a desk silently reshape your body.
Aches, tension and stiffness wear you down.
This changes the way you move in life and when you ride
That’s exactly why I created Screen Time to Saddle Time.
Your Bridge Between Desk Life and Horse Life
You don't need a gym
You don't need special equipment
And you don't need hours of free time
You don’t need to add more to your life — this weaves into it. This means you can:
Loosen hips that feel locked from sitting
Not have to force yourself to sit tall
Release aching neck and shoulders
Unlock a whole new level of feel and body awareness
Release tension from overused keyboard hands
Be more saddle ready before you even step into the stirrup
These are movements you can weave into real life.
At your desk.
While waiting for the kettle to boil.
Before you tack up.
Even between emails.
Over time, they stop being “exercises.”
They become habits.
You start to sit, stand, and move better without even thinking about it.
And when better movement becomes your default, better riding follows.
Imagine if...
You mount your horse feeling relaxed and balanced
Your body follows your horse’s movement
Your unlock a whole new level sense of feel and awareness
Your instructor comments on your improved position
You ride without aches, pains and stiffness
You feel confident in your body and trust it again
No more hoping today is a “good body day.”
No more blaming yourself for something your desk created.
Your Horse Can Feel The Difference
Every hour you spend at a desk shapes your body.
Every ride reflects it.
You can keep hoping your body will loosen up on its own…
Or you can start changing the way your body moves.
Imagine getting into the saddle and feeling:
Open through your hips
More stable through your core
Balanced in your seat
More confident in your body and riding
Your horse responds to the smallest shifts in balance and tension.
When you move better, they move better.
This isn’t about becoming “perfect.”
It’s about becoming more aware, effective, and comfortable in your body — so both you and your horse can enjoy your time together more.

If you’re a rider struggling with stiffness, posture issues, or aches that seem to follow you from your desk into the saddle, you’re exactly who I'm here to help.
For over 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of riders and horses as a Restorative Exercise Specialist for Equestrians, Equine & Human Therapist, and BHS Level 3 Coach.
I’ve lectured and performed dissection for the British Horse Society and appeared on BBC TV, but what matters most is this:
I understand the rider’s and horse's bodies and the unique demands riding places on them. Not just from textbooks but from lived experience.
I’ve had significant riding injuries that left me with years of restrictions and pain.
I’ve also experienced firsthand how hours at a computer quietly reshape your posture/alignment, balance, and movement often more dramatically than a fall.
What I discovered, and what I now teach, is this:
You can’t out-ride a body that’s been trained by desk life.
But you can change it back.
The methods inside Screen Time to Saddle Time are the same principles I’ve used with many riders to help them:
Move more freely
Sit and stand in ways that help your body
Reduce stiffness and recurring pain
Improve your connection with your horse and your body
And I’m living proof that this approach works.
I’m here to help you feel stronger, more aligned, and more confident — both in daily life and in the saddle.
Let’s get you riding and moving the way your body was meant to.

Still Wondering if This is for You?
You don’t need to carve out extra time in your day. This course is designed to sprinkle into your life in little moments—while waiting for the kettle to boil, filling a water bucket, or even standing in the shopping line. You can practice with little to no extra time, simply as you go about your day!
This course is designed to make movement habits and exercises simple and doable, fitting naturally into your daily life, so they become second nature, not another program you have to “stick to.”
Plus, you'll get plenty of unexpected benefits that will keep you motivated and wanting to continue.
The exercises and tips have worked for me and countless clients. If you apply them consistently, you’ll notice real improvements. You’re in control of your progress, and even small steps can create big changes.
None! You can use whatever’s around you, no special equipment or space needed. These exercises can be done anywhere (I even do them while waiting in the shopping line!). Your body itself becomes your gym.
Sprinkle practice throughout your day in small, manageable bursts at a pace that suits you. The more consistently you weave these exercises into your routine, the faster you’ll notice real improvements in how your body feels and moves.
Absolutely, you’ll be improving your body both in and out of the saddle. Even if you ride infrequently, these exercises prepare you for the saddle so you make progress whenever you do ride.
No worries if you fall behind! This is a self-paced course, so you can work at your own speed, anywhere. You have the course lifetime access also, and I'm always there to support you in the course community section.
The course is delivered entirely online through a user-friendly platform. You'll have instant access to all 70+ video lessons, downloadable worksheets, quizzes, and the private community. You can access the content from any device - computer, tablet, or smartphone - and work through it at your own pace, whenever and wherever suits you best.
