Equestrian Performance Testing
Assess Don’t Guess: Data Driven Equestrian Fitness
Ride straighter, stronger and more balanced.
Backed by data.
Our ForceDeck testing system measures how your body performs off the horse: identifying strength, balance, power and asymmetry so you can improve how you perform on the horse.
Forcedeck Technology
We use VALD technology to provide objective measurement and generate data‑informed insights—turning movement into numbers so every decision in your performance plan is guided by evidence, not guesswork.
Why Performance testing matters for Riders
Even the best riders have asymmetries: small imbalances that can affect how your horse moves, how you absorb force, and how stable you feel in the saddle.
Our testing system gives you measurable data on:
How it works:
-
Book in an individual or yard visit, I can travel to your house or yard for a fee. Contact me directly on 07377806182 or olivia@riderstrengthcoach.com to enquire about a yard or home visit.
-
For a 1:1 it will take around 45 minutes. For group testing it takes around 1.5 hours dependant on numbers
-
You’ll get instant access to an app which holds your detailed results, additionally you’ll receive a report made by me with key insights to your data
-
There is the option to add on 12 week exercise programme for the gym or at home, where I write your rider-specific program tailored to your data and deliver it via an app.
-
There’s the option to re-test on the Forcedecks after 8 to 12 weeks of working on your exercise programme. We measure your strength, power and asymmetry score.
Booking a re-test is great motivation because we can tell exactly how much stronger and symmetrical you get due to all the work you put in over the weeks.
