Your Horse Will Thank You

RideIQ is everything I had hoped for and more. Bringing along your own green horse is a challenge, especially for an adult amateur with a full time job.
I have joined masterclasses and bought several online programs to supplement my weekly dressage lessons, but I struggled with following a plan that I couldn’t easily access at the barn when I needed it most. Reading a PDF or watching a video while mounted is not ideal. I kept wishing there was an app I could follow along with while working with my horse that would keep me focused and provide direction for our sessions. When I found RideIQ, I honestly thought it was too good to be true, but I signed up for the free trial and I am so glad I did. I was hooked from the very first lesson.
RideIQ has afforded me to opportunity to ride with amazing equestrian athletes from all over the world and has provided the ability to structure my solo rides with a distinct focus and goals. I love the hack chats, the ease of which I can search for, save, and organize my lesson playlists, and the fact that I can stream them to my earpiece or play it on a speaker in the arena while I ride. The private Facebook community is also super supportive and positive.
I have told so many people about RideIQ because it works. My horse and I are seeing positive results after every ride. It even helped prepare us for our very first dressage schooling show, which my beautiful girl rocked! I can’t recommend RideIQ highly enough.

Best App for Riders

After using this app for the past couple of years, I can honestly say that it is a game changer. I keep my horse at my parents small hobby farm, I can’t always afford weekly lessons and I don’t often show. This app has been incredible for keeping me connected to equine sports and continuing my education when it comes to riding. The instruction provided by top riders is clear and easy to follow along as you ride. The app is very user friendly - I love that I can download lessons, I’ve never had an issue accessing recordings despite my barn and arena being located in an area of poor cell reception. Thank you thank you thank you RideiQ for giving me access to top instruction and education from the comforts of my backyard barn!

A must-have for every rider

I can’t recommend RideIQ highly enough. I joined in the OG early days for the ride-along lessons. At the time I had no trainer, but I learned and grew just as much, if not more, with RideIQ than I ever had with in-person lessons. Now I listen just as much for the podcasts and ask-an-expert sessions as I do for the lessons. And as a baby horse owner, I’m glued to the 3yo progression series with the now 5yo Conroy! Most of all, I love that RideIQ feels like family. The Facebook group is endlessly positive and supportive, and makes everyone feel welcome in this community, which isn’t always easy to find in the horse world.

Couldn’t believe it

I tried ride iq with a free trial. I was 100% skeptical. What could it hurt, right? From ride number 1 I was mind blown. How did these instructors know exactly what I needed to do, how to ask, and when? Truly unbelievable. So much content. Every need, met. This has become an amazing supplement to the coaching I receive once per month in person. Love!!!

Savior of the Eventer in the Middle of Nowhere

Before RideIQ, I mingled between disciplines and between trainers. The vast expanse of Wisconsin may have plenty of lakes, but not eventing trainers. My gelding and I were coming out of a year long rehab, itching to start the competition season, but with so many goals that seemed so far fetched. Enter RideIQ. Now I have access to impeccable coaching from my pocket! The online community created is also amazing, and I feel I have been welcomed with open arms.
My favorite feature of the app is the sorting of many different exercises and collections, as it makes it easy to choose from the wide variety of lessons. Anyone can find anything to suit their needs. Few

Game Changer

RideIQ is phenomenal. I live in a very rural area, and opportunities for in-person coaching for my riding are few and often require me to drive more than an hour for a lesson! RideIQ gives me the ability to take a guided lesson, anytime, anywhere: even the field in my backyard. It’s helped me keep my skills going when I couldn’t get to in-person lessons, and has given my rides better direction! I also love the podcasts and hack chats, for days I want to listen to something while hacking or doing barn chores. RideIQ is WELL worth the money, especially if your circumstances prevent you from attending regular in-person lessons!

Love this app

I tried a few different equestrian apps and have to say that this one is the best. Love the mix of international equestrian’s and various subjects and topics and love that many of the lessons apply to beginners and people at lower levels. Facebook community is very supportive too!!

Love this app!

Extremely useful app for those of us who don’t have access to a regular coach, or for those of us who are new to certain disciplines. I use the dressage test read throughs frequently to prepare myself for shows, and the lessons are always incredibly useful!

Wish I joined sooner!

I joined in March and was pretty skeptical at first, “how can I learn anything if the coaches can’t even see my horse??” Boyyy was I wrong. I’ve had so many A-ha moments, so many “wow I didn’t know my horse could move like this” rides and have picked up so many tidbits from both the lessons and podcasts! The app is so well organized and there is something for everyone. Give it a try!

The best thing I’ve added to my riding 🙌

We all do so much to work toward riding better and doing better for our horses - better tack, going to clinics, watching videos…you know the drill. Well, Ride iQ has been the most impactful thing ever for my horse and I. I’m EXCITED and motivated to ride every day. I can’t wait to press play and have one of my favorite coaches with me, giving me the little nudges, reminders, and insights to make me feel so capable! My horse definitely notices the difference - his job is harder because we do so much more during rides, but I know he likes having someone really direct the experience. ME! Im writing this after being a member for a few months and I’m in it for the long haul. I tell all my friends and I can’t wait for more of them to understand my fanatic raving!
