Riding Rehab

Riding Rehab for SportHorses

Riding rehabilitation is a crucial part of helping horses safely return to work after an injury, treatment, or period of layup. A thoughtful, progressive approach is essential for rebuilding strength, fitness, confidence, and overall well-being.

Amanda brings years of experience in riding rehabilitation, having successfully helped numerous horses throughout Belgium and the United States. Her experience and careful approach have helped horses return to work and go on to successful careers in international sport.

Her goal is to create an individualized rehabilitation program that supports each horse’s physical and mental needs while working closely with owners and veterinarians.

Our Story

Amanda has spent years riding and developing all types of horses across different countries and disciplines. Her experience has given her a unique understanding of how to bring out the best in each horse, regardless of their background or goals.

She has extensive experience riding Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) in both New Zealand and the United States, successfully developing them for Dressage, Hunter/Jumper, and Eventing.

During her time in Belgium, Amanda rode and developed young stallions preparing for licensing and approvals, while also helping keep top-level Show Jumpers fit, sound, and competition-ready.

In the Netherlands, she spent a year producing Hunter and Equitation horses for the U.S. market. She also gained valuable experience in the United Kingdom, working with polo ponies to keep them fit and sound, as well as working in an Eventing yard.

This diverse international experience has helped Amanda develop a versatile and practical approach to training, conditioning, and producing horses for a variety of disciplines and careers.

MILO

Milo came as a retiree from a lameness that after a year was not staying consistently sound. He spent some time in the pasture and continued to improve over the months he was here until being happy and sound. From there he started his slow rehab process. A few years later he is still sound and back to competing in his very late teens, including winning the USEA Area II Championships in 2024!
