What is ride strong?

Ride Strong is a one-of-a-kind training programme created for horse riders who want to build strength, balance, and connection — both in their own bodies and with their horses. Combining the power of equine-specific Pilates on the mat with tailored, on-horse training, Ride Strong bridges the gap between rider fitness and horsemanship. It’s about creating a partnership that feels strong, centred, and responsive — from the ground to the saddle.

Built around the key pillars of balance, coordination, centring, mindful focus, trust-building, strength, connection, and community, Ride Strong helps riders cultivate the physical and mental foundations needed for mindful, effective riding. Through targeted movement practices and in-the-saddle training, you’ll develop greater body awareness, emotional resilience, and a deeper connection with your horse — supporting not just better performance, but a more trusting and harmonious relationship.

Led by Bianca from B Natural Equine Training and Mark from The Nourishment Co, Ride Strong brings a fresh, holistic approach to rider development. This isn’t just about technique or strength alone — it’s about riding with true awareness, moving with your horse rather than against them, and strengthening the bond that makes every ride a conversation, not a command.

Whether you're a beginner wanting to set strong foundations, or an experienced rider seeking a deeper, more connected partnership, Ride Strong will support you to become the kind of rider your horse loves to carry.

WHY RIDE STRONG?

Riding isn’t just about skill — it’s about strength, balance, coordination, and true partnership with your horse. Without a strong and stable body, riders can unknowingly put strain not just on themselves, but also on their horses. Ride Strong was created to change that.

Through equine-focused Pilates and on-horse training, Ride Strong helps you build the physical strength and body awareness needed to ride safer, more efficiently, and for longer — with less risk of injury, better balance, and improved endurance. A stronger, more connected rider creates a happier, healthier horse. When your body moves with stability and mindfulness, your horse moves more freely too.

But Ride Strong isn’t just about muscles and movement. It’s about shifting the way we see riding — from simply “controlling” the horse to building a trust-based partnership. It’s about understanding the psychology of the horse, developing emotional resilience, and becoming a rider who listens, feels, and responds with empathy and clarity.

Until now, there’s been nowhere for riders to develop this complete blend of physical, psychological, and connection-based skills. Equine-specific Pilates doesn’t exist anywhere else, and combining it with real-world horsemanship training makes Ride Strong a truly unique experience you won't find in any other programme.

Ride Strong gives you the tools to not only become a more efficient, confident, and proficient rider — but also to build a bond with your horse that feels effortless, powerful, and real.
