Rider Certifications

For the first time ever you can get CERTIFIED at your riding level. This is a great way of proving to yourself, others and to the world that you have mastered key fundamentals and are having specific skillsets which you can apply to multiple horses.

Frame it and hang it on your wall, put it in your tack room or brag about it to your friends and family. Either way... you've earned it!

How many levels are there?

We have in our curriculum 5 levels. You can get certified as a "Riding Master" in each of the 5 levels. Levels 1-2 are our "Sticky Butt" levels which is phase one of our curriculum--the "rider phase" if you are familiar with our book, The Ambitious Equestrian. Level 3 is when we shift to phase 2 the "horse phase." This is where our Polework Intensive comes into play. As for Level 5... this is only for the 1% crazy! These are the super serious riders who dream of going all the way to Grand Prix. 

How to Get Riding Masters Certified?

Apply to see if you qualify to train with us. If you qualify you will be required to start at Level 1 and Level 2. You have the choice of doing this with either the "Sticky Butt Bootcamp" (which is essentially our DIY route following our training plans) or our "Riding Masters Academy." Those who do the Riding Masters Academy have a higher success rate of getting certified since we work with them 1:1 through our intensive 90 day program. The Riding Masters includes the Sticky Butt Bootcamp (and several other awesome perks!) so you do not need to do both. Once you've graduated, you will be given tasks mapped out for you in our certification section found at the end of these two courses. Follow the instructions as to how to submit your "test" as well as your graduation riding video. It may take up to 1 week for Coach Krystal and her team to go through your application and video and you will be notified if you passed (or what you need to work on in order to pass and try again.) or not. If you passed you will receive your physical certification in the mail. 

Rejoice!

It all starts here, by submitting your application!

Level 1-2 Sticky Butt Coach

You can choose to pay separately for each of the different requirements (such as our Riding Masters Virtual Academy, Certification Workshop & Coaching Online University) or you can choose to pay up front for the entire package. 

The "SLOW TRACK" - Benefits of enrolling in each one separately: This is the best solution for someone with time or money restraints to allow them to do the certification over the course of 1 or 2 or more years. This way you can also break each step into payments as they come and as you are ready for the next step. 

The "FAST TRACK" - Benefits of enrolling in the entire package and paying up front: This is for the serious equestrian who KNOWS what they want and that they will see their certification to the end. This route will save you money and time. With this you are on a fast track training plan to implement and follow in the fastest time possible. You have first dibs and priority when attending workshops with limited space and can save money by paying in full for the entire program in one go or by breaking it up into easy installments over the next 1 year.
