Sarah Cuthbertson
Sarah has ridden in many of the world’s toughest and longest horse races and trained other riders for the same. Her one-of-a-kind programs are focused on riders who dream big and are committed to achieving the impossible. Her fitness training will focus on the rider’s individual goals, strengths and weaknesses and build a program and skills that the rider will be able to use forever.
Karen Briggs
Karen is an Equestrian Canada certified coach who competes in eventing and dressage, dabbles in endurance, and has sat on enough poorly-educated horses to appreciate what a pleasure it is to sit on a well-educated one! With nearly 50 years of experience in one saddle or another, she has developed a cross-disciplinary perspective on training that can help you forge a stronger, more balanced, and more empathetic partnership with your horse, whatever your competition goals may (or may not) be. She has also taught equine nutrition at the college level and is the author of Understanding Equine Nutrition (Eclipse Press) which has been used as a textbook in college programs across North America.
Molly Pearson
Molly has tackled everything from team gymnastics on horseback and the Mongol Derby to recovering from concussions and a nearly shattered pelvis. She understands how to meet riders where they are in their journey to feeling like a fit, supple teammate to their horse. She's a sassy comedian who cheers you on as she doles out the perfect dose of strategically designed movement that leaves you feeling strong, accomplished, and ready for that post-class ice cream.
Ashley Tomaszewski
Ashley grew up trail riding and guiding, barrel racing, and riding with the Canadian Cowgirls Rodeo Drill team, taking her all over North America including riding in the Kentucky Derby Parade, Equine Affaire, and the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. She has been riding endurance since 2014, specializing in competing on non-typical endurance breeds. With over 20 years in the industry, a diploma in Equine Science, and is currently completing her Equine Massage certification, Ashley combines both science and practical elements to her coaching style to help you reach your goals, no matter the discipline.
