Easy Daily Lessons for:
- a solid seat
- balanced posture
- a happier horse
Join me for this 30 Day Journey to becoming a better rider and horse person.
This is the knowledge and skills that I feel are most important for every rider to understand.
I am always striving to improve how I ride, so I can move more freely with the horse. To improve how I train so my communication is more clear and my connection stronger.
As a riding teacher, it is my mission to share this information, what I learn and continue to learn, with others, in a way they can understand and apply it. Even if we live on opposite sides of the world, the technology of online video allows us to do this.
This 30 Day Better Riding Quest is my newest program and a distillation of 20 years teaching riding and 13 of those years teaching online. These are the core lessons that I would love for every rider to know (or to review!)
This quest is 30 Days of short daily videos helping you:
Improve your posture and balance in the saddle with movements to practice at home
Learn more about your horse through exercises exploring what interests and motivates them
Practice techniques for moving through fear and releasing tension in your own body
Simple groundwork exercises to prepare your horse for a great ride
All you need is 5-10 minutes a day (or you can go through the program at whatever pace is best for you – it’s all open as soon as you join and you have a full 90 days access to complete.)
If you have ever felt that you just don’t have time for long courses or being online for webinars, or you simply want to improve your riding faster, join me in this quest!
Let me guide you to your best riding position, one simple lesson at a time!
Of course, in these 30 days, we will also go beyond just riding position…
I have often said that being a better rider is so much more than how we sit in the saddle.
It is our mindset, how we communicate with our horse and our ability to stay calm even when things don’t go perfect.
So in this quest for Better Riding, we will be talking about this too 😉
In case we are meeting for the first time…
My name is Callie King. I have been publishing a weekly show for over 13 years on riding tips and horse training.
I am passionate about helping riders and I’ve taught clinics, created courses, and written books.
I believe in a holistic approach to riding, considering both the horse and person, and being aware of all the factors that go into “riding success”.
I also believe that we all learn best in safe and positive environments, and want to encourage you to create this for yourself and your horse, starting with how you think about yourself as a rider. I already think you’re great. You wouldn’t have found this program and still be reading if you weren’t interested in being your best.
I’m here to say it’s ok to do that one step at a time, which is just what we will do together through these daily lessons.
What I see is that to get started, or to get back on track, many riders simply need a path forward, easy steps to do each day to learn and build new habits.
Let me tell you a bit more about what we will be doing together…

Have a question?
No need to have your own horse! These lessons will be just as applicable if you ride school horses, friend’s horses, etc.
No problem! Most of these exercises, even the ridden ones, will also encourage you to practice at home, whether that is feeling a certain movement, bringing more attention to an area of your body, noticing more around you as a horse does, etc.
These lessons are designed for the beginner to intermediate rider. These cover the fundamentals of rider position, horse behavior and training, and mindset for calm. Even if you are brand new to horses and riding, you will be able to practice each of these exercises. For more experienced riders, this can serve as a helpful review and reminder of the important fundamentals.
You have access to this program for 90 days. There is no need to follow the daily program, you can watch all the videos right away if you wish, or watch them anytime during the 90 day access period.
Many of these lessons are new, and have not yet been included in other programs. Others have been taught in these other courses, and I have also included them here in the format of this quest for review. Many times I find it is these most important fundamentals that we may know and have heard before, but we forget or overlook how powerful they can be.
No, this program is NOT delivered on Facebook. You will receive access to a member’s portal with all the daily lessons and the QA videos will also be uploaded to your portal. The Facebook group is only an additional bonus for those who want to participate and ask questions there.
Join me and other like minded riders from around the world in the FIRST 30 Day Better Riding Quest.
Enrollment Open this week only and we kick off with Day One on February 13
