*2025-05-28, version 2.9.1* Hands down my favorite app! It’s brought structure and motivation to my rides when I’m feeling lost. There’s so many great coaches to choose from and lots of great podcasts. ### 5/5 — Best app ever? Yep! *2025-04-26, version 2.9.0* I've been a fan since day one (literally) and Ride IQ has helped me fill in the gaps between lessons as well as learn SO much through the podcasts and extra lessons like ground work and rider fitness. I'm obsessed. Couldn't have restarted my OTTB without it. ### 5/5 — A Game Changer! Love this App. *2025-04-25, version 2.9.0* RideIQ offers so much content- from great podcasts to lessons for all levels. It has helped me stay consistent and added so much to my training - can’t recommend it enough! ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2025-04-25, version 2.8.0* RideiQ is worth every penny! It helps me have more intentional rides when I’m on my own in between lessons. The pod casts are super informative, engaging and helpful! I highly recommend RideiQ to anyone looking to improve their riding (some groundwork) and knowledge on all things horse. ### 5/5 — Incredible, affordable option for top quality lessons *2025-04-25* I can’t always afford to lesson with my trainers every single week—my horse likes to have really high vet bills—so I like to supplement my lessons with Ride IQ lessons. Even when my horse is rehabbing (which she is often), I get a lot out of the groundwork lessons, the rider fitness lessons, and I love the podcast. Plus, the FB community is SO welcoming and kind. It’s the least toxic horse space I’ve ever been in. I’ve been a subscriber since day one and I think I’ll be a subscriber forever. Cannot recommend it enough! ### 5/5 — Simply obsessed *2025-01-01* Ride iQ has changed my riding life. I used to have very ho-hum rides on my own and often just felt lonely and uninspired (I ride at home). I’m not exaggerating when I say I couldn’t imagine something could have such a positive impact on that experience…I didn’t know what I needed at the time, but now that I have Ride iQ it’s EXACTLY what I needed. I feel like the excited, proud horse girl inside of me is back! The coaches in my ear not only help me make the ride a good one, they give me company and remind me that I’m not doing this alone, that it’s not silly, and that I am doing great. It goes a long way! Just like I tell my friends, don’t hesitate on this…you can thank me later! ### 5/5 — Ride IQ is a Game Changer! *2024-09-24* I absolutely love Ride IQ! It has been a game changer for me and my horse. I’m an AA Dressage rider who works long hours and typically rides after work. I used to dread planning my own lessons. I would end up riding aimlessly around the arena and largely one one rein. Now I can search for a lesson that targets what I want to work on e.g. straightness, suppleness, transitions, test riding, etc. I can trust I’m going to work towards a specific goal and evenly on both sides. I’ve been using Ride IQ for about nine months. Last week my vet, equine body worker, saddle fitter, and farrier all commented on how well my 20 year old horse is looking, feeling, developing new muscle, and wearing his shoes in a more balanced way. I am convinced that Ride IQ has a lot to do with our progress. Ride IQ is amazing. It works! You should try it! ### 3/5 — Service is great. App could use improvements *2024-05-04* The service is fabulous. Lessons are good, the selection is broad. The way that I use it is to ride a skill lesson a few times and then during my in person lesson, I talk about what was easy and what was hard and with eyes on the ground, I am able to work on the skill. I can honestly say my riding has improved. I have favorite rides I have done MANY times. This is money well spent. The app has been stagnant though. I’d like to see improvements in the organization of collections (ability to reorder for example). I’d like to see a recommended ride section based on what to try next. There’s a lot that could be done to improve the app. ### 5/5 — Something to know before you start *2024-02-19* I was a skeptic. I don’t love subscriptions and I didn’t trust there was enough value I could get from audio lessons. I decided to throw caution to the wind when I saw a FB post about the free trial and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s been life changing. I now believe audio lessons will change this sport at large. To be able to ride with a top rider in my ear as my copilot, giving me all the structure and reminders I need while sharing training insights to make me a better horse person, has totally transformed my experience. It turns out so much of what I struggled with during my independent rides was just a result of my lack of understanding. Now my rides are positive and I feel like I’m doing right for my horse and myself. This is a subscription I’m a super fan of. If you’re on the fence, give it a go! ## Frequently asked questions about Ride iQ ### What is Ride iQ?
