You LOVE riding and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. You just wish you could get out of your own head and move forward, faster.
I’m here to tell you that you CAN achieve everything you want to. It’s completely possible to smash your riding goals, no matter how daunting they may seem. Progressing in confidence, skill, and ability isn’t just a case of more time in the saddle. You also need practical tools and resources, advice from world-class experts, and regular feedback and support from people who all have your back.
That’s the key to success – working smarter, not harder.
Professional riders have access to a huge team dedicated to their success – coaches, personal trainers, sports phycologists etc. We know most riders won’t have the resources, time or budget needed for that kind of professional support.
The Saddle Club offers you unlimited access to the expertise and guidance of riding coaches, pilates, yoga and rider bio-mechanic instructors, mindset and confidence coaches, pro-riders to learn from, and a support network of like-minded people all dedicated to improving their riding & their enjoyment of the sport.
And you get all of that for the price of a cup of coffee and a slice of cake each month.

Growing up as a pony obsessed girl in a non-horsey family I’ve always had to swim against the current when it came to pursuing my passion for horses and riding. As a girl, real training opportunities for me were often few and very far between due to transport and geographical issues. Then, after becoming a mother to my little girl, time became the new constraint. Suddenly I just wasn’t able to justify a 3 hour round trip for a 45 minute lesson.
This is where the idea of Wise Owl Equitation and The Saddle Club came about, a small internet based business that passionately believes that everyone should have access to top quality training regardless of their location, budget or time constraints.
I firmly believe that all riders should have access to quality training, resources, tools and support in spite of the confines of location, trainer availability, budget and time.
I’m very active in The Saddle Club myself. I look forward to seeing you in the community and getting to know you better!

We are Proud to partner with the world’s best horse riding trainers & experts.
Equestrian business and mindset coach delivers a masterclass on overcoming self-doubt and taking charge of your mindset to ensure you achieve your riding goals.
Ireland
Legendary Irish Olympic Event Rider suffered a fall in 2018 resulting in a serious brain injury, six week coma & learning to walk again. Lucky to be alive and told he wouldn’t walk again…
He spoke to us about how he used his incredible mindset and inner resilience to get back into the saddle and out competing once more.
Tidy Tackrooms
The importance of organisation on mental wellbeing. How taking the time to tidy our tackrooms, lorries and equipment can improve both riders mental health and performance.
Top International FEI Judge and Trainer Zara Pawley delivers an incredible dressage masterclass. She explains exactly what a judge is looking for when they mark a test, and the meanings of common judges comments. She also judges a pre-recorded Prelim test on the masterclass so we see exactly where points are lost and gained.
Equestrian PT & Fitness Coach shares her knowledge on how off the saddle fitness can enhance you riding performance.
She has also recorded a 45 minute strength training workout specifically designed for riders, which members can access and follow as often as they want from the comfort of their own homes.
Thoroughbred Dressage
Louise is dedicated to the retraining of ex-racehorses from the racetrack to the dressage arena . Her knowledge and passion for thoroughbreds and sympathetic approach is truly inspirational. It’s clear to see why her majesty the Queen chooses Louise to retrain her precious racehorses. Members can also receive bespoke 121 training from Louise on their own horses
Tracey is a rider mindset coach who explains exactly how the mind works and how we as riders can spiral very quickly into a lack of confidence, but more importantly how we can prevent this and turn things around when it does happen.
Tracey also guides us through a very powerful visualisation in this masterclass. She has also provided the Saddle Club with three bespoke self-hypnosis recordings to tackle the most common confidence issues rider face.
Philippa from the Bitless Boutique gives am incredible insight into horse anatomy and bridle and noseband fit.
She covers how training bitless helped a 2* dressage rider improve her performance by 30%, the different types of bitless bridles available and how to safely manage the transitioning process.
A truly insightful session even for riders who would never consider going bitless.
Karen, a Saddle Club member herself demonstrates what riders can do to properly prepare themselves to ride so that their body is ready to perform with the horses movement.
She covers:
How to prepare our body to ride
Breathing
Balance and proprioception tune up
As a Saddle Club member, you’ll pay absolutely no admin fees on any virtual training. Everyone else pays a £10 admin fee on top of any Wise Owl Equitation virtual training.
Not to mention the savings you’ll make by taking advantage of the off-saddle workout routines, self-hypnosis recordings, professional masterclasses and much much more. That’s Thousands in value for just £11.99 per month.
These 1-1 video lessons are totally bespoke, live training sessions with an expert trainer.
You’ll be on the horse with headphones in on a live video call with one of our world-class instructors.
Ideally having a friend to hold the phone while you ride will offer the best experience but this is not a necessity. Many riders use inexpensive tripods or smart tracking devices when riding alone. This will allow your trainer to see what you’re doing and give you real-time feedback and instruction.
You also don’t need special facilities, our customers take part in lessons in fields, on the beach or if they are lucky enough in their own schools or arenas.
Virtual training is not just about removing the limits of geography. Virtual training actually has several advantages over in-person training:
Not only do you get full access to the entire database of expert trainers – as a saddle club member you pay NO admin fees on top of lessons.
Our training and content is totally bespoke – you don’t have to spend hours pouring over endless content that isn’t relevant to your situation – we’ve structured everything so you can easily pick and choose the bits you need most, and you can choose exactly what kind of training you want, with the trainer you want.
Live 121 video lesson | Expert feedback and advice on pre-recorded videos
Absolutely! The Saddle Club is for riders anywhere in the world who want to increase their knowledge, improve their performance and relationship with their horse and ultimately get more enjoyment from the sport.
Please note though: all of our content is in English, so you’ll need to be able to speak English to at least a moderate level.
We’ve created The Saddle Club to be totally flexible for you. The monthly masterclasses take up one hour per month, and everything else is completely up to you – you can pick and choose exactly what you engage with. And, because everything is recorded and posted afterwards, if you can’t make a live session, you can catch up at a time to suit you.
When you register with us, you’ll enter your card details via PayPal for monthly card subscription. This can be cancelled at any time via your Paypal account if you decide not to continue.
No, when you sign up you’ll enter your details to begin a monthly direct debit which can be cancelled any time with no cancellation fees.
Of course you can! Whilst you may want access to a horse eventually, the Saddle Club offers a lot to prepare you to get back on the saddle, including confidence and mindset resources as well as physical fitness routines and classes. And, just being part of the community may inspire you to get back out there and ride more regularly again.
We’re committed to delivering new value every month, with new masterclasses, resources and tools being added all of the time. However, you can join for as long as you’d like to, and cancel any time.
Absolutely, many of our community members have had similar experiences, so you’ll have a group of supportive and encouraging people to talk things through with. We also have masterclasses on this topic from expert riders including Irish Olympic event rider Jonty Evans sharing his journey of recovering from his serious fall and getting back out competing.
Our confidence and mindset self-hypnosis recordings also cover falls and consequences/hurt + memories of falls.
There’s no minimum age to join The Saddle Club, but you will need your parent or guardian’s permission to participate in live lessons. The group is also hosted on Facebook, so you’ll need to meet Facebook’s minimum age requirements too.
You will be encouraged and cheered on in a friendly environment to be ambitious and smash your goals! You will be able to make friends, discuss your problems with like minded riders and learn! Accountability and sharing your goals and challenges are at the heart of our community.
Just £11.99 per month (or equivalent in your countries currency), no contract, instant access
