Anchored Seat

You’re committed to becoming a balanced dressage rider — in and out of the tack — but something still isn’t clicking.

You’ve put in the hours: countless squats and lunges, endless hours in the saddle, and pages of notes from the experts on YouTube. Yet finding the rhythm of the sitting trot still feels out of reach. And, despite your trainer's best efforts, you hear the same feedback, without knowing how to actually fix it in your body.

The truth? Balance isn’t built through fitness alone or by simply riding more.

Balance is about developing harmony — in your body, your movement, and your partnership with your horse. And that’s exactly what I help riders like you do, using proven, evidence-based methods that get results you can feel.

What is harmony?

Harmony is mutual balance, performance, and longevity in your riding career for you AND your horse.

Where does harmony begin?

Harmony starts with connecting YOUR brain and body. And that’s when the balance flows.

You’ve worked on training your body, but have you trained your brain?

That’s where I come in.

As a Rider Balance Coach, I help competitive adult amateur dressage riders like you finally bridge the gap between what your trainer is telling you and what your body is actually doing in the saddle.

Using evidence-based, movement-informed techniques, I help riders target the root causes of their instability, asymmetry, or disconnect—on and off the horse.

This isn’t just about personal fitness. It’s about learning how your body works as a rider, so you can create real, lasting changes that show up down center line.

For example, did you know:

Visualization techniques can improve muscle tone and flexibility?
Training balance specifically will also improve your strength and endurance?
Developing rider feel is an achievable skillset that has proven methods and results?

I can help unlock and harness these tools for you, and make your unmounted training time really count.

You don’t have to stay on the carousel of endless circuit training.

When you engage your brain in the training process, the results in the saddle will come.

Let’s build your roadmap to unmounted training and riding success.

Hi, I’m Audrey—rider, coach, and movement nerd.

Like you, I’m passionate about improving in the saddle and building a deeper connection with my horse. I’m currently bringing along my five-year-old mare, Tess, as she starts her dressage career. We love a good hack and the occasional jump—and I’ve got my eye on eventing as our next big adventure.

Professionally, I’m a neurologic physical therapist, certified in Functional Movement Systems and trained in all four levels of the Train Your Seat Equestrian method. I blend this background with a brain-based approach to rider balance—helping you understand how your body moves, why it compensates, and how to create real change that shows up in your ride.

Whether we’re talking straightness, suppleness, or sitting the trot, my goal is to give you the tools to ride with more awareness, confidence, and connection. (Also, if there’s ever a field trip to a theme park, count me in—I’m always up for a roller coaster.)

Stay Grounded,

Audrey Paslow
