Equilates, a unique program for the Equestrian, uses the basic premises of Pilates: promoting elongation of the spine, muscular flexibility and balance, as well as emphasis on strengthening the core to ensure the relaxed concentration and flow needed to promote the partnership between horse and rider. With Equilates™ training, the rider finds it easier to understand and put into practice the classical principles of riding. In addition, Equilates pays close attention to the mind/body connection incorporating not only Yoga principles, but also the elements of T’ai Chi and the practice of visualization.CLICK HERE to visit Equilates.

Because the rider is the leading partner in this dance with her horse, Betsy’s training system addresses the rider’s development first. Horses are reflections of their riders and only when a rider has control over her own position can she begin to reach her potential with her horse. The Equilates exercises are designed with this in mind. In order to positively influence her horse’s body a rider must train to be strong and supple and learn to be aware of her own body.

It is Betsy's firm belief that with training, all things are possible!
