There are professionals struggling, broke, burned out...

THIS ISN’T YOU

There are pros who are killin’ it.

Pros that have the top horses, endless clients, the facility of their dreams…

With enough money (and life sanity) to support it all.

Some say, “it’s just hard work". Others say, “It must be family money.” We say it’s STRATEGY.

For the first time EVER, there is a program out there to not only see what's possible for you as an equine pro, but HOW to get there.

Welcome to the Path to Pro.

Turn your passion into a rewarding career.

-No guesswork required.

Take the first step and join the course to see what is truly possible for you as a pro.

Find Your Path to Pro

Everyone’s journey to becoming a professional looks different, but it doesn’t have to be hard to find your way…

If going pro feels like a faraway dream or a big ‘unknown’ territory, you’re not alone. The path from either juniors/amateurs to professional rider and trainer is unclear for most.

But so much more is possible than you realize…

  • We think so.

    Not only is the price around the cost of only ~3 lessons, it could potentially save you hundreds to thousands of dollars in your business, take years off your pro timeline, and save you from a lot of deep headaches and heartbreaks.


    The total value of the program is $2073. So why is the price so much lower? Because we don’t want money to be an issue.

    Now, you might also be wondering, “What if for some reason the Rising Equestrian Pro would remove the course or go out of business?” (We have ZERO plans for that, but you might ask 'what if'). In this case, you would receive the course content another way (e.g., via unlinked Youtube videos, Google Drive, or something similar.)

  • Yes, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you find that the Path to Pro Program does not meet your expectations within the first 30 days of enrollment, you can request a full refund, no questions asked.
