The Vault - Complete Rider Fitness System
Build strength, balance, and confidence in the saddle with rider-specific programming designed by a PT and former saddle fitter.
WINTER SPECIAL: Order this month + get the Flexibility Guide FREE (£15 value)
16 weeks of structured programming • 4 complete training plans • Yours forever
You know you need to be stronger for your horse.
Your instructor keeps telling you to:
"Sit deeper"
"Engage your core"
"Stop bouncing"
"Keep your shoulders back"
But here's the problem: You can't muscle your way into better riding. And generic fitness advice doesn't translate to the saddle.
You've tried everything:
And here's what actually happened:
❌ YouTube Pilates videos → You did 3 videos, got bored, never went back. Didn't help your riding anyway.
❌ Random gym sessions → Stood there confused about what to focus on. Left after 20 minutes. Cancelled membership 6 weeks later.
❌ "More lessons will fix it" → Your instructor keeps repeating the same cues. Your position stays exactly the same.
❌ Stretching occasionally → Inconsistent, no real plan, no measurable progress. Just hoping it helps.
❌ Generic fitness programs → Built general strength but didn't transfer to the saddle. Still bouncing, still collapsing.
The brutal truth nobody wants to say:
Your horse is compensating for your weak position. Every. Single. Ride.
Without functional strength, balance, and body awareness, you're asking your horse to work harder because YOU can't hold yourself up.
And that's not fair to either of you.
Here's what's really happening:
Your instructor sees it: That collapsed hip. That bouncing seat. That twisted torso. They keep correcting you, but the weakness comes from what you do (or don't do) OUT of the saddle.
Your horse feels it: Every wobble. Every asymmetry. Every time you grip instead of sit. They're bracing against your instability instead of moving freely.
You feel it too: The frustration of hearing the same corrections. The exhaustion after 30 minutes. The knowledge that you SHOULD be stronger but not knowing where to start.
Rider-specific training that actually works.
The Vault gives you everything you need to ride stronger, sit taller, and support your horse better—with structured, progressive programming designed specifically for equestrians.
No guessing. No generic workouts. Just proven training from someone who understands both sides:
✅ How your body works (PT expertise)
✅ How your position affects your horse (saddle fitting experience)
What makes The Vault different from every other program you've tried:
| What You've Tried Before | The Vault |
|---|---|
| Random YouTube videos when you remember | 16 weeks of structured, progressive programming |
| Generic exercises that don't help riding | Rider-specific movements that translate directly to the saddle |
| No idea if you're getting stronger | Week-by-week progression with clear milestones |
| Starting strong, losing momentum, giving up | Sustainable 4-week blocks you can repeat and stack |
| Instructor repeating the same corrections | Instructor noticing improvement by week 3 without you saying anything |
Is The Vault right for you?
This is perfect if you:
✅ Want to improve your riding position without spending hundreds on private lessons
✅ Know you need to be stronger but don't know where to start
✅ Are tired of generic fitness advice that doesn't help your riding
✅ Want structured, progressive programming (not random YouTube videos)
✅ Struggle with bouncing, collapsing, asymmetry, or fatigue in the saddle
✅ Want to support your horse better by improving your own strength and balance
✅ Need rider-specific training from someone who understands both fitness AND horses
This is NOT for you if:
❌ You're looking for a quick fix (real strength takes consistent work)
❌ You want someone to hold your hand through every workout (these are self-guided programs)
❌ You're not willing to train 3-4x per week for 4 weeks
❌ You're looking for riding lessons (this is OFF-horse training that improves your IN-saddle position)
Less than the cost of a single private lesson—but the results last for years
Your Journey to Stronger Riding
Step 1: Choose Your Starting Plan (I'll Help You)
After purchase, you'll receive a 60-second quiz that tells you exactly which plan to start with based on your biggest riding challenge.
Or just pick the one that sounds most relevant:
- Weak core/bouncing → Core Strength Plan
- Asymmetry/collapsing → Rider Balance Plan
- New to gym training → Gym Confidence Plan
- Low stamina/fatigue → Riding Endurance Plan
Can't go wrong - they're all designed to improve your riding.
Step 2: Follow the Structured Program
Each plan runs for 4 weeks with 3-4 sessions per week:
Week 1: Foundation building and movement familiarisation
Week 2: Progressive overload and increased challenge
Week 3: Peak training with highest intensity
Week 4: Consolidation and preparation for next phase
Step 3: See Results in the Saddle
By week 2-3, you'll notice:
Improved stability and less bouncing
Better balance and less collapsing
Stronger position through entire lessons
More control and connection with your horse
Your instructor will probably notice before you mention it.
Step 4: Progress to Your Next Plan
After completing one plan:
Repeat it to build more strength
Move to a different plan to address another area
Stack multiple plans for comprehensive development
These programs are yours forever. Use them in any order, at any pace, as many times as you need.
What makes this different from Pilates, yoga, or generic gym programs?
✅ RIDER-SPECIFIC PROGRAMMING
Every exercise is chosen because it transfers to the saddle:
Dead bugs → Core stability while limbs move (just like riding)
Single-leg work → Correcting asymmetry every rider develops
Bird dogs → Back strength that keeps you upright without tension
Glute bridges → Posterior chain for a stable, deep seat
Not generic fitness. Targeted training for riders.
✅ STRUCTURED PROGRESSION
Unlike random YouTube videos, these plans progressively build strength:
Week 1: Learn the movements
Week 2: Increase intensity
Week 3: Peak challenge
Week 4: Consolidate gains
You get stronger week by week, not just repeating the same thing forever.
✅ DESIGNED BY A PT & FORMER SADDLE FITTER
I've seen both sides:
How your body works (PT knowledge)
How your position affects your horse (saddle fitting experience)
Most trainers understand fitness. I understand how fitness translates to riding.
Trained by someone who gets it.
Hi, I'm Rhiannon Cooper.
I'm a certified Personal Trainer, and I spent years as a professional saddle fitter before that.
Here's what I learned fitting hundreds of saddles:
The number one issue wasn't always the saddle—it was the rider's position.
I'd see riders blaming their equipment for problems that were actually their:
Weak core (causing them to collapse and tilt the saddle)
Tight hips (preventing them from following the horse's movement)
Asymmetrical strength (collapsing through one side)
Poor balance (gripping with their knees instead of sitting deep)
No saddle can fix a weak position. But training your body CAN.
That's why I became a PT and have specialised in rider fitness. I wanted to help riders fix the root cause, so they could ride better AND their horses could move better.
The Vault is everything I wish existed when I was struggling with my own riding position.
30-Day Results Guarantee
Here's how confident I am that The Vault will improve your riding:
Complete Plan 1 (all 12 sessions over 4 weeks).
If you don't feel noticeably stronger in the saddle, email me proof of completion (training log photos) and I'll refund you in full.
No questions asked. No hassle. You keep all the programs.
Why am I this confident?
Because when you follow a structured, progressive, rider-specific training program designed by someone who understands both fitness AND horses, you WILL get stronger. Period.
The only way this doesn't work is if you don't use it.

What riders are saying:
I finally understand what my instructor means when she says 'engage your core.' After working through the Core Strength Plan, I could actually FEEL the difference in my seat. My horse is moving better too—my trainer noticed before I even said anything!
I've always collapsed through my left side in the saddle. Rhiannon's Balance Plan specifically targeted that asymmetry, and within 3 weeks my instructor commented on how much straighter I was sitting. Game-changer.
As a former saddle fitter, Rhiannon sees things other trainers miss. She explained how my weak core was making my saddle shift, which was affecting my horse's back. The exercises fixed MY position, which fixed the saddle issue. Absolute game-changer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this suitable for beginners?
A: Yes! Each plan includes modifications for different fitness levels. If you completed the free 2-week Rider Core Guide, you're ready for The Vault. The Gym Confidence Plan is specifically designed for riders new to gym training.
Q: What equipment do I need?
A: It varies by plan:
Core Strength Plan: Mat, resistance bands (optional)
Rider Balance Plan: Dumbbells or resistance bands (optional)
Gym Confidence Plan: Access to standard gym equipment
Riding Endurance Plan: Cardio equipment (treadmill, bike, rower) or outdoor space for running/walking
Alternatives are provided for home training where possible.
Q: Which plan should I start with?
A: Choose based on your biggest challenge:
Struggle with bouncing or maintaining position → Core Strength Plan
Collapse to one side or twist in the saddle → Rider Balance Plan
New to gym training or rebuilding confidence → Gym Confidence Plan
Get tired during lessons or want to compete → Riding Endurance Plan
You can complete them in any order and repeat as needed.
Still not sure? I'll send you a 60-second quiz after purchase that will tell you exactly which plan to start with based on your riding challenges.
Q: How long until I see results in my riding?
A: Most riders notice improved stability by week 2-3, with visible position changes by week 4-6. Your instructor will likely notice before you do. Remember: strength builds progressively, so consistency matters more than perfection.
Q: Can I do multiple plans at once?
A: We recommend completing one plan fully before starting another to avoid overtraining. However, you can combine the Flexibility Guide with any of the training plans. After completing one 4-week plan, you can immediately start another.
Q: What if I miss a session?
A: Life happens! Just pick up where you left off. The plans are flexible—if you need to do 2 sessions one week and 4 the next, that's fine. Consistency over time matters more than perfection week to week.
Q: Do I need to be currently riding to benefit from this?
A: While the programs are designed for riders, they'll benefit you even if you're not currently riding (due to injury, time off, horse being lame, winter break, etc.). You'll be stronger when you get back in the saddle.
Q: I'm not very fit. Will this be too hard?
A: Each plan includes modifications to match your current fitness level. Start with easier variations and progress as you build strength. The goal is gradual improvement, not perfection from day one.
Q: Can I use these if I have an injury?
A: The programs include general safety guidelines, but they're not a substitute for medical advice. If you have an existing injury or health condition, please consult your doctor or physio before starting. Once cleared, you can modify exercises to work around limitations.
Q: How is this different from the free 2-week guide?
A: The free guide is a 2-week introduction to rider core training. The Vault gives you:
16 weeks of programming (vs. 2 weeks)
4 specialised plans targeting different aspects of rider fitness
Progressive overload (you get stronger week by week)
More exercise variety and advanced progressions
The Flexibility Guide bonus
Think of the free guide as the appetiser. The Vault is the full meal.
Q: Will this work for dressage/eventing/showing/hacking?
A: Yes! The programs develop fundamental rider fitness that benefits all disciplines. Stronger core, better balance, and improved stamina help regardless of what style you ride.
Q: Can I print the programs?
A: Absolutely! The PDFs are designed to be printable. Many riders print them to bring to the gym or keep a training log.
Still not sure? Let me answer the questions you're really thinking:
"But I'm not sure which plan to start with..."
→ Take the 60-second quiz I'll send you after purchase, and I'll tell you exactly which plan to start with based on your biggest riding challenge. Or just pick the one that sounds most relevant—you can't go wrong because they're all designed to improve your riding.
"What if I buy this and don't use it?"
→ Fair concern. That's why I include implementation guides with each plan and offer the 30-day results guarantee.
But here's the thing: if you don't invest £59 today, you'll still need to get stronger. The question is whether you want a proven system or more trial-and-error frustration.
Your horse can't wait for you to figure it out through random YouTube videos.
"Can I just get the free 2-week guide instead?"
→ You absolutely can! But the free guide is 2 weeks. The Vault is 16 weeks of progressive training that actually builds strength.
Most riders who do the free guide come back for The Vault because they realise they need the full system to see real, lasting results.
"What if I don't have time for 3-4 sessions per week?"
→ Each session is 30-45 minutes. That's less time than most riding lessons. And here's the truth: if you have time to ride, you have time to train the body that rides.
Your horse is worth 30 minutes, 3 times per week.
"Will this actually work for ME?"
→ If you follow the program consistently for 4 weeks, yes. This isn't magic—it's structured, progressive training based on exercise science and rider-specific needs.
The 30-day guarantee proves I stand behind the results. The only way it doesn't work is if you don't use it.
