Ride Strong Core

The equestrian-specific core training system to improve your seat, balance, stability, and connection for just $27.

You love your horse and train them to be their best. You invest in board, farrier, vet, lessons, coaching, and shows. 

But if you're like most equestrians, you are not training like an athlete, and your core strength is limiting your ability and performance in the saddle, resulting in:
  • Lose seat
  • ​​Gripping instead of flowing
  • Losing balance
  • ​Feeling uneven
  • Getting fatigued
  • ​Back and hip pain

Maybe you feel like you don't have time for the gym. Maybe you have lingering injuries, back pain or hip stiffness. It's possible you believe that just riding is enough. 

But riding alone does NOT build the specific strength your body needs to:
  • Stay centered
  • ​Absorb motion
  • ​Stabilize through transitions
  • ​Stay connected without pulling or gripping
Riders have predictable imbalances and areas of weakness. I see them every single day in my clinic.

I broke my back and pelvis in a riding accident that led me to live with persistent back pain, leg pain and headaches for over 15 years.

Hello, I am Dawn Payne, a Physical Therapist and Equestrian.

I stopped riding. I went through injections. Rehab. Surgery. Failed programs. I got a degree in Physical Therapy and launched my Physical Therapy practice. 

When I finally returned to riding, I promised myself I’d never jump again.
I jumped the first day back.

But then I realized traditional rehab and fitness weren’t enough for riders. So I created a system - Swish Fitness for Equestrians. And I developed The Ride Strong Core Method to improve my back pain, rebuild my strength, stability, and confidence in the saddle.

 It's fantastic! The exercises are tailored to your capabilities and targets the muscles I need to ride my horse and stay in the saddle. I can't say enough good things.
 I think everyone should do it. So many people don't realize they're lacking the little muscles because you don't really know until you try it. It's harder than it looks. At the end of the day, it's one of those things you won't regret doing.
 Take it and do it. It has nothing but benefits.
