What Ride Better does
Film your ride. Get your next plan.
Upload a video of a normal ride. Ride Better analyzes the whole thing — your position, your horse’s way of going, how the ride came together — then gives you something specific to work on before you get back in the saddle.
Your trainer can’t be in the arena for every ride, so their direction keeps working between lessons — and you’re not guessing what to practice today.

How it works
Three steps, every ride.
No new routine and no special equipment. A normal ride and your phone are enough.
Film your ride
Set your phone at the side of the arena and ride like you normally would. Any schooling ride works.
Understand your ride
Upload the video and Ride Better analyzes the full ride — what worked, what didn’t, what your horse was telling you — so nothing from it gets lost.
Know what’s next
Get a short plan of what to work on, saved for your horse and shared with your trainer.

Whatever you ride
Built for every kind of rider.
The plan is built around your horse and your goals — not around one discipline.
Made around you
You tell it how you train. It plans around that.
Ride Better doesn’t assume one system or one schedule. You tell it how you like to train, which days you actually ride, and what each horse needs right now.
None of it is locked in. As your season, your goals or your horse change, the plan changes with them.
Build my first planHow you like to train
Competition focused, natural horsemanship, cross-training, or a bit of everything. Ride Better builds your plan in that style instead of pushing one system on you.
Competition focused · Natural horsemanship · Cross-training
Your real schedule
Monday to Friday, three days a week, weekends only — you choose. The plan fills the days you ride and leaves room for rest.
Monday to Friday · Three days a week · Weekends only
Different for every horse
Each horse gets its own focus. A horse coming back into work after a break needs a slow, steady build; a horse already in regular work needs something else. Set it per horse and the plan stays specific to that horse.

For riders
Every ride has a plan. Even the ones without your trainer.
Film a normal ride and Ride Better gives you a complete analysis of it, then saves a plan for your horse — so you know what to work on before you’re back in the saddle. It works whether you train with a trainer, take lessons remotely, or ride on your own.
A plan for the horse in front of you
Your goals and your horse’s history, fitness and behavior all feed the plan, so it’s never a generic set of drills.
Your trainer stays in the loop
Invite your trainer to see independent rides, or find one inside the app when you want a second set of eyes.
Progress you can actually see
Track what’s improving and what still needs work across schooling rides, groundwork, rest days and shows.
More than an analysis
Everything points to your next ride.
You don’t need another folder of videos you never open. You need to know what to practice when you get back in the saddle.
Keep lessons from fading
Turn your trainer’s notes into practice priorities you can return to all week.
Show up with a plan
See what to work on during schooling rides, groundwork, conditioning, and rest days.
Bring your trainer along
Connect your existing trainer so their direction stays part of the plan.
See the bigger picture
Track what’s improving and what still needs work for each horse over time.
For trainers
Your students get more of you. Without needing more from you.
Set the direction once. Riders can follow it between lessons, and you can see what their rides actually show before the next one — without another stream of late-night texts.
Walk into lessons prepared
Review recent rides and current priorities before your student gets on.
Keep your program on track
Give riders a place to see what they’re working toward on their own rides.
Spend more time teaching
Less repeating directions. Less piecing together each student’s week from memory.
Straightforward pricing
Invest in the rides between lessons.
A video journal just stores the ride. Ride Better analyzes it so you understand what your horse actually needs, then helps you decide what to do next, with a plan for your horse and a way to stay aligned with your trainer.

Good to know
Questions, answered.
Does Ride Better replace my trainer?
No. Ride Better helps you follow your trainer's direction between lessons. You can also use it on your own.
Do I need a trainer to use it?
No. Ride Better works for independent riders, riders with an existing trainer, and virtual lesson students.
What happens if the analysis gets something wrong?
You can correct the analysis so your training information reflects what actually happened during your ride.
What disciplines does it support?
Ride Better is built around your horse and your goals, whether you ride dressage, jump, event, ride western, or work on the ground.
Can I connect my current trainer?
Yes. Invite your trainer to see your independent rides and help guide your plan.
How much does it cost?
Start with a 3-day free trial — no credit card required, and you won’t be charged automatically when it ends. If you continue, the rider membership is $50/month, renews monthly until canceled, and you can cancel any time. Approved Verified Trainers may receive complimentary access.
How is Ride Better different from a video journal or free riding apps?
A video journal stores your rides. Ride Better analyzes the whole ride — what you did, what your horse did, what to work on — and builds a training plan for your horse so you know what to practice next. You can also keep your trainer connected to that plan.
