What our students say about Strides!
Strides Calendar
October 2023: Suppleness of the Horse and Rider
In order to perform and stay sound and happy, both the horse and the rider must be supple. There is a mental and a physical component to suppleness. Learn step-by-step exercises to focus on this key concept.
November 2023: Half-Halts Made Simple
Half-halts are one of the most complicated and misunderstood concepts in Dressage. Learn exactly how and when to apply a half halt for the desired effect on your horse!
December 2023: Best of the Year- Awards and Honorable Mentions
This month we will be celebrating our favorite exercises and topics from 2023 as well as celebrating our members and their achievements as we reflect on the year and get ready for the year ahead!
January 2024: Rider Mindset/Training Philosophy
Riding is 90% mental. Get your brain working for you instead of against you and watch as you become more confident in your riding! This workshop will set you up for your best year yet. I can’t wait for you to achieve your goals in 2024!
February 2024: Demystifying Inside leg to outside rein
Everyone is always talking about inside leg to outside rein – it really is the secret to riding! It allows you to control your horse mentally and physically, to get them supple and straight in their body and it helps with engagement and collection. But how do you achieve this? And what does it feel like?
March 2024: Straightness
The rider has a huge effect on the horse’s straightness and vise versa. Identify the asymmetries in your body and in your horse and learn how to become more symmetrical. This month will include mounted and unmounted exercises to help you and your horse use your body evenly and effectively.
Tentative topics for the new year:
Strengthen the Hind-end, Harmony & Balance in your Riding, and more!
Enrollment is only open right now for exclusive students. This limited enrollment closes shortly and there is only room for a limited number of students. Don’t miss out!
Just
$49/month,
or $490/yearThat’s just $1.63 per day! Probably less than you spend on your horses’ supplements and way cheaper than a lesson.

About Your Coach
“As a dressage trainer, my goal is to make good training accessible to everyone who is interested in learning. I want to help YOU ‘learn, to love your ride!’ “
~ Amelia
Amelia is passionate about sharing her knowledge of riding, horses and dressage. She has trained numerous horses and riders from Training Levels to the Grand Prix.
Amelia enjoys helping each individual student and horse find harmony, trust, and balance. “Nothing is more rewarding than watching one of my students glide harmoniously around the ring together with their horse! This makes my heart soar!” says Amelia.
Amelia hopes to one day represent the U.S.A. on the international circuit and loves training her three horses, Harvey, Kensington and Luigi in Los Angeles, CA. Amelia has her USDF Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals, She is the winner of the prestigious USEF Carol Lavell Advanced Dressage Prize and a member of the USEF Dressage Development Program.
Riding is your lifetime Dream!
So what’s holding you back?
- You just can’t get your hose relaxed and “with” you.
- You want to move up the levels, but making progress is difficult
- You run into training issues and don’t know what to do
- You get lost when riding without a trainer or you don’t understand what your trainer is telling you to do
- You lack confidence and direction in your training
Dressage can be so hard and frustrating! And I totally get it because I’ve been there and I know exactly how you feel!
Wouldn’t it be great if…
- You had the support of an online community to help you
- You had access to a Grand Prix Rider and trainer to answer your questions
- You had a clear structure for your training and your rides
- You had a toolbox with specific exercises for training issues
- You knew what to prioritize in each training session
- You were able to make measurable progress and actually move up the levels!
That’s why I created Strides; to help YOU make progress and actually enjoy the Dressage Training Journey!

“Nowhere have I found anyone who explains equestrian training theory, the dressage training scale and technique for the aids as well as Amelia. She genuinely cares about the progress of each student, at each student’s pace, beginner through upper level training. Her programs are so much fun to participate in too, having created an atmosphere of support and encouragement among all the participants. I can’t say enough about how much her teaching and the Strides community has improved my riding and my relationship with my horse!”
-Alysoun, Strides Student
“I own and train 3 former hunter/jumper to dressage. Hunter/jumpers would do well to improve their groundwork and flexibility from the gymnastics of dressage. Amelia’s programs helped me find an organized direction to make this happen in hand and under saddle. I build on these programs for my weekly workouts and check in to her posts monthly for upgrades.”
-Michael, Student
