From Houston Medical Centers to Wellington's Show Grounds
One client's struggle changed everything
My path to Wellington began in unlikely places—East Texas gyms and Houston medical centers. For years, I studied human movement and rehabilitation, learning how bodies compensate for injuries and develop restrictions over time. I thought I understood movement completely.
Then I met an equestrian client who would change everything I thought I knew.
The Moment Everything Connected
She came for car accident rehabilitation. Months of work on neck pain and hip restrictions. Standard recovery stuff. Then one day, she mentioned her riding had fallen apart since the accident. Bouncing in the saddle. Hands all over the place. Horse turned into a nervous wreck.
As she talked, the pieces started falling into place. The hip restrictions making her bounce? Same ones from the accident. The unstable hands? That neck tension we'd been fighting. Her horse's anxiety? Responding to her altered breathing patterns.
This wasn't coincidence. This was cause and effect.
I went searching for riding-specific biomechanics resources.
While I found some valuable books on biomechanics and equestrian fitness, I realized there was still a gap. The specific connection between how modern life creates restrictions and how those exact restrictions sabotage riding. The existing work provided important foundations, but the bridge between daily life patterns and riding problems needed more development.
That's when I knew: I could contribute something unique. I spent the next 11 years building on existing knowledge. Studying every text, analyzing thousands of videos, deepening my understanding of the patterns. What emerged was a clear map of how modern life systematically creates the exact restrictions that destroy riding ability.
And more importantly, a systematic way to fix them.
Wellington and Jupiter Farms: Where Excellence Meets Opportunity
This is where serious equestrians push boundaries and seek every advantage. After 18 years studying human movement and 11 years researching equestrian biomechanics, I've come to understand something crucial: riding excellence isn't about being the strongest or most flexible.
It's about alignment between intention and execution. When your body can't execute what your mind knows, that gap shows up in every stride. My work focuses on identifying and addressing the specific restrictions that create this gap.
Based in Singer Island, serving the Wellington and Jupiter Farms equestrian community.
The Gap Between Knowledge and Execution
You know what to do. Your trainer has explained it perfectly. You can see it in your mind. But somehow, your body won't cooperate. This frustrating gap between understanding and execution is what brings riders to my door.
Wellington Equestrian Fitness bridges this gap through targeted biomechanical assessment and correction. Using research-based techniques developed over 18 years in movement science, I help riders discover which specific restrictions are sabotaging their progress. And more importantly, how to fix them.
This isn't about getting stronger or more flexible.
It's about removing the precise restrictions that block your riding breakthroughs. Because when your body finally matches your understanding, everything changes.
Background That Matters:
Wellington Equestrian Fitness was founded on these principles:
-
CHEK Institute's systematic approach to movement correction
- Evidence-based therapeutic techniques
- Extensive research into equestrian biomechanics
- Analysis of movement patterns across riding disciplines
- Two comprehensive books on rider biomechanics (The Equestrian Athlete and The Rider's Body)
The approach combines 18 years of movement science with 11 years of specialized equestrian research.
A Note from the Founder:
Your riding challenges aren't permanent. They're not about age, talent, or being "broken." They're simply unaddressed movement restrictions that follow predictable patterns. After 18 years in this field, I know one thing for certain: every body can improve when given the right approach. That's not optimism—that's biomechanics.
