<strong>EQUESTRIAN ATHLETES – RIDER PERFORMANCE.</strong> <em>Engineered for the Saddle. Built for the Demands of Sport.</em> Led by Jessie Turney; Strength & Conditioning Coach, with additional certs in Performance Nutrition & a rider with over 20 years in the industry. Everything at <strong>Equestrian Athletes</strong> is framed around building you into a high-performing athlete, with riding as your sport expression. Riding skill comes from time in the saddle. Strength & conditioning <em>builds the physical foundations</em> that allow those skills to be expressed at the highest level. Every athlete is an individual. Each block of training, every phase of planning & every interaction is designed to drive <em>sustainable development</em> within your sport. We don’t take shortcuts. Training follows a <em>progressive, layered approach</em> that considers the athlete, their sport & their goals; resulting in <em>consistent, lasting performance</em> season after season. We build resilient athletes from the ground up. Fundamental movement patterns, max strength, power, conditioning & mobility create the base. From there, we layer specificity so riders can produce, absorb & repeat force when it counts. Our coaching is grounded in sports science. Athletes understand what they’re doing, how to measure progress & how it transfers to performance in the saddle. Development is clear, measurable & repeatable. Training is supported by nutrition, recovery & mindset, the pillars that fuel resilience, consistency, & performance across seasons & careers. We’re guided by purpose, curiosity, passion & authenticity. Athletes step into a culture of resilience, pursuit of excellence & respect. <em><strong>This is The Athlete Team;</strong> a high-performance environment that elevates everyone within it.</em> <strong>In person:</strong> Hawke’s Bay. <strong>Online:</strong> New Zealand + Worldwide.

At DSH we specialise in training sport horses of all breeds and rehoming tbs for a select number of trainers throughout the South Island. We offer schooling, sale on behalf, beginner lessons etc. I am also a certified Equine Myofunctional Therapist, focusing on Massage, Fascia release, Cranialsacrel Therapy, Cold Laser Therapy, Kinesiology Taping, Gua Sha, ANMR as well as Reiki or Energy Healing. A typical session will include a mix of these modalities and can last between 40 and 60 minutes depending on the horse and generally requires follow up session. I treat everything from sport horses to race horses, ponies and donkeys. In fact if it’s got four legs I can treat it!! Im generally booked 3 - 4 weeks in advanced so recommend my clients book in asap and then rebook before I leave again.
