I just have to tell you how much your exercises have helped my riding and comfort level! In just three short weeks, I went from crawling out to bed after riding to feeling fantastic!! I made a pole run and two futurity runs this weekend on that strong yellow gelding, expecting to be sore again…. nothing. I really can’t thank you enough!

I am really enjoying your program and it is so simple but effective! I can already feel a difference in my lower back! I found your YouTube video of how to release the lower back and I am doing those exercises every day now. I was in the saddle for almost 5 hours yesterday, moving pairs, tagging babies, so on and off and flipping calves a lot and my back felt amazing last night!
Your ticket to becoming a better rider is here!

I was apprehensive at first because I knew I was not in the best shape and I am pretty insecure about my riding ability, but this clinic gave me hope. Aleisha and her staff were kind, positive, and professional. They were there to help find ways to improve your strength, flexibility, and balance to help you meet your goals as a rider.
