Develop a Healthy Core
Learn how to strengthen and activate your core in a way that supports you and your horse. Without doing a single plank!
Are you confused about using your core?
There's a ton of misinformation about using core muscles. No wonder riders are confused! And frankly, many core programs won't make you a better rider. Just a stiffer rider. Yikes!
You'll learn why planks can make you a stiffer rider
You'll learn why planks and sit-ups have the potential to make you stiff. That's not good for you or your horse! The exercises in this course will help you have awareness, strength and flexibility.
You'll learn how to use your BRAIN to activate your core
You'll learn why working HARD to improve core strength can actually make you weaker. In this course, you'll improve your movement and your mindset to have a strong, healthy core.
Use your core in a way that helps your horse too
With this program, you'll be able to spontaneously engage your core in a way that improves your strength, coordination and posture. No more sucking in your belly!
You can be a better rider. Effortlessly.
- Imagine the thrill of confidently cantering down a wooded trail.
- Picture yourself easily and elegantly navigating a jumper course. Or a dressage test.
- Your horse is happy, supple and athletic because you're longer getting in his way. You're more balanced and coordinated. Confident too.

"I finished the Develop a Healthy Core online course and it was amazing! Transformational! "
Kate Shuster
USDF Gold medalist, dressage judge, Encinitas, CA
"Since doing your Feldenkrais exercises, I've been able to follow my horse's movement. Went for a ride today with stirrups usual length - I was sitting differently in the saddle. I was more upright and followed my horse's movement better. The exercises you taught me feel so good, they're addictive!"
Cheryl Davidson-Bowles
Equestrian, Australia
"I would like to congratulate you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful way of conveying body intelligence! ... I knew that I had been sitting on the horse unbalanced for many years. Now everything is different. That may sound cheesy, but it is so... With the finest aids (and now they are really aids and not disabilities) I can ride my horse, even on the long reins, and navigate precisely. And I also have the impression that I am much better connected to the horse. "
Felix Perret
Equestrian, Switzerland
"I can sink into my left seat bone easily and without any effort now! I usually sit heavier on the right and really don't feel the left one. And it feels like my trunk is just floating over my pelvis. My seat feels secure and I can move my hips more easily. I can bend to each side easily too. My back feels so good. I feel as light as a feather! So free and loose! Thank you, Mary! "
Mary Kim Folds
Equestrian and runner, North Carolina
"I did an exercise in the barn aisle just before I rode. I had a great ride. I felt so solid in my seat and my horse finally gave me her back. I had the best sitting trot Iโve had in a very long time. "
Lisa Gorsuch, M.D.
Dressage rider and physician, Huntersville, NC
