OUR MEMBERS SAY IT BEST...

As an adult amateur who often rides alone between hauling to lessons, it’s really nice to have access to so many varied and amazing lessons with coaches that I would never get to ride with in person.

Micki McDaniel

Ride iQ has played a huge role in the success of training my OTTBs!

Keegan Oswald

With Ride iQ I have a bevy of lessons to motivate and challenge me to ride more, ride better and get out of my comfort zone. It’s truly an amazing service and I intend to be a member for years to come!

Ashley Schmitt

I love Ride iQ. It has been a tremendous value add to my program keeping me accountable to my horses and making sure they are getting what they need from our training sessions.

Jaclyn Burke

5 stars!!! It is hard to summarize all of the things I love about Ride iQ. Just the way it works is genius. To ride along with top riders as they ride and how it seamlessly translates...bravo!!!

Heather Updegraff McWilliams

This is honestly the first subscription I’ve seen or used that is so worth a monthly fee. Thank you! And pat your horse!

@L.Wood.Gardens

As someone who doesn’t have the time/budget to be at the barn learning daily, Ride iQ helps me stay knowledgeable while at my desk job, doing housework, and commuting! It’s amazing to have top athletes from all over the world available a tap away!

@Pelisaurus

Great exercises for riders and horses of all levels. It is really helpful for those days when you’re schooling by yourself and can’t come up with what to work on. Just put in some headphones and ride along with a top professional!

Kristina Huff

Highly recommend. It's a great value for so many lessons!

Heather Jones

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Ride iQ! My in-person trainer tells me what to work on and I pull a bunch of lessons from Ride iQ for my rides between lessons!

Ashley Winterroth

My favorite part is being part of this incredibly supportive community. Despite riding at very different levels, everyone is so happy to celebrate “wins" of every variety!

Kara Doberstein

I love Ride iQ! I have bought different books or apps related to horses, but I found myself paying and not really using them. Ride iQ is the polar opposite! Well worth the money!

Kim Miller

The app has definitely given me a sense of renewed purpose & direction. I find myself excited to head to the barn & try out new lessons!

Tap on any lesson to view the lesson description, which includes what type of horse/rider the lesson is most suitable for, anything you may want to look at before riding (a diagram or short video clip), and a play-by-play of what to expect during the lesson.

When you find one you like, get on your horse and press play!

What disciplines is Ride iQ for?

Ride iQ currently caters to english disciplines with coaches who ride at the top level of Eventing, Hunter/Jumpers, and Dressage. The app also features the expertise of veterinarians, sports psychology coaches, farriers, judges, grooms, rider strength and conditioning coaches, natural horsemanship and groundwork experts, and the list goes on.

How many on-demand audio lessons are on the app?

Right now, there are over 400 lessons to choose from on the app. New lessons are added every Tuesday at 10am ET. Lessons can be filtered by topic, coach, duration, and level.

What levels is Ride iQ suitable for?

Ride iQ is for riders of all levels, ages, and aspirations!

The lessons span from all-walk beginner lessons to lessons focused on perfecting upper level movements. Our members include young kids learning how to ride all the way to professionals who are using Ride iQ during their training rides. If you’re worried there won’t be lessons for you, worry-no-more! We have you covered.

What headphones should I use for Ride iQ?

Any wireless headphones you like will work great! If you’re looking to buy a pair, we recommend Aftershokz headphones. Aftershokz use bone conduction technology so you can hear your audio lesson without having buds directly in your ears. They’re comfortable under a helmet and can withstand the wear and tear of activity. There are a few models to choose from–they all work great, including the least expensive Open Move model ($80).

If you prefer a bluetooth speaker, we recommend the Noxgear 39g Wearable Bluetooth Speaker (named 39g because it only weighs 39 grams). Yes, wearable! You can clip this lightweight speaker to your shirt and carry-on without distraction–no-bounce guaranteed!

How can I join the Ride iQ Facebook group?
