Ride iQ: Horse Audio Lessons

I absolutely love Ride IQ! It has been a game changer for me and my horse. I’m an AA Dressage rider who works long hours and typically rides after work. I used to dread planning my own lessons. I would end up riding aimlessly around the arena and largely one one rein. Now I can search for a lesson that targets what I want to work on e.g. straightness, suppleness, transitions, test riding, etc. I can trust I’m going to work towards a specific goal and evenly on both sides. I’ve been using Ride IQ for about nine months. Last week my vet, equine body worker, saddle fitter, and farrier all commented on how well my 20 year old horse is looking, feeling, developing new muscle, and wearing his shoes in a more balanced way. I am convinced that Ride IQ has a lot to do with our progress. Ride IQ is amazing. It works! You should try it!

I was a skeptic. I don’t love subscriptions and I didn’t trust there was enough value I could get from audio lessons. I decided to throw caution to the wind when I saw a FB post about the free trial and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s been life changing. I now believe audio lessons will change this sport at large. To be able to ride with a top rider in my ear as my copilot, giving me all the structure and reminders I need while sharing training insights to make me a better horse person, has totally transformed my experience. It turns out so much of what I struggled with during my independent rides was just a result of my lack of understanding. Now my rides are positive and I feel like I’m doing right for my horse and myself. This is a subscription I’m a super fan of. If you’re on the fence, give it a go!

We all do so much to work toward riding better and doing better for our horses - better tack, going to clinics, watching videos…you know the drill. Well, Ride iQ has been the most impactful thing ever for my horse and I. I’m EXCITED and motivated to ride every day. I can’t wait to press play and have one of my favorite coaches with me, giving me the little nudges, reminders, and insights to make me feel so capable! My horse definitely notices the difference - his job is harder because we do so much more during rides, but I know he likes having someone really direct the experience. ME! Im writing this after being a member for a few months and I’m in it for the long haul. I tell all my friends and I can’t wait for more of them to understand my fanatic raving!
