Our Mission
At Equestrian Coach our passion is education. We are here to help riders learn something new, tackle a problem or brush up on something they already know. Providing valuable resources to riders is what makes us tick. Essentially, we want all equestrians to have access to affordable, quality education from the best coaches in the sport, regardless of their background, their riding level, or their geographic location. So this blog is going to be all about education. We will be sharing tips, lessons, exercises, experiences and so much more, all to enhance the education of our blog followers.

What People Are Saying About EquestrianCoach.com
Every year I search for a new source to keep my teaching fresh and correct. I am using your site as my inspiration this summer, it gives me access to top horse people when I only have 15 minutes to spare. It is a huge help and asset! Thank you!
I love your website, as a rider who can't afford the traditional form of coaching, equestrian coach allows me access to top coaches without breaking my bank account. A bonus to watching videos and "doing it yourself" is that is encourages critical thinking.

Just want to thank Equestrian Coach as I moved to CA back in Sept. and due to reestablishing my business have been unable to be in training. Equestrian Coach has given me tons of tips and exercises to work on that makes me feel that I have still been moving forward with my riding this year. Thank you!!
Equestrian Coach is an invaluable resource for both amateurs and professionals. Bernie has taken his brilliantly simple common sense horsemanship and conveys it in a way that can be useful to riders and instructors of all levels. His knowledge combined with the insight from some of the leading riders and trainers today has provided me with a trustworthy source to which I can refer for any question that I may have, as well as for my continuing education.
