Personalized Services

Remote Video Rider Assessments

Work directly with us to troubleshoot any issues you may be experiencing in the saddle. By assessing imbalances, pain, and posture, we develop personalized programs designed to help you feel better in the saddle right away.

Clinic Schedule

This program offers 1- or 2-day in-person individual sessions tailored to address your specific issues through targeted exercises, demonstrations, and strategies that help you understand how your riding influences your horse. The clinics cover all aspects of horse and rider biomechanics, teach techniques to avoid pain, and improve performance in the saddle. Each year, a limited number of spots are available.

About Me

I’m Gus, a coach with over two decades of experience working with high-performance athletes in various sports. However, as the son of a horseman, I have always felt a deep connection with horses, which has led me to dedicate myself to understanding the human body to benefit both the rider and the horse. Throughout my career, I have worked with riders in diverse disciplines such as dressage, cowhorse, and polo, developing a unique approach to training equestrians at all levels, from complete beginners to Olympians.

My approach, which focuses on injury prevention and performance enhancement, has proven effective at all levels, from beginners to Olympians. Today, I remain committed to this horse-centered approach, helping riders reach their full potential while ensuring the well-being of their equine partners.

What Our Riders Say

Gus is a very thorough person to work with. I loved his attention to detail and deep knowledge and understanding of the functionality of the body. Training was always fun and safe.

– Laura Tomlinson MBE
Olympic Bronze and Team Gold Dressage

Training with Gus is a pleasure. His knowledge of the human body is amazing, and our back problems felt better every day. As a rider, he understands the demands of our sport in a way that is unique among trainers. Most importantly, he is a great person, and this makes training with him enjoyable.

– Facundo and Gonzalito Pieres
10 Goal Polo Players

Hands down the most knowledgeable trainer of his generation. Gus’s passion, experience, and curiosity about riders, biomechanics, and training not only got me back from a career-ending back injury but also transformed my performance ability and literally changed my life.

– Sean Coleman
Horseman and European Ranch Horse Versatility Champion

I have struggled with pain affecting my performance my entire career and accepted that it was just part of competing. I never thought the answer to this lifelong problem would be found in the gym. Gus has changed my position and effectiveness on a horse and reduced my pain in ways I never thought possible.
