So you want to be a good rider?
Good enough to go pro someday?
Then you need more time in the saddle…
If you think you have enough or a lot of time - get more.
Do you want more time?
Maybe feeling like if you want to go pro you wouldn’t have the experience or the horsepower to be credible? Or maybe you don’t have pro ambitions but you just want to be the best rider you can be?
Whether you are a future pro or an avid amateur or junior, we welcome you.
This is your invite to the Horsepower Workshop, Increasing your saddle time: Getting the horsepower you need as a future pro.
“When you think there aren't opportunities you may be surprised… this workshop was really eye opening.” -Raelyn Baker
Introducing the Horse Power Workshop
Increase your saddle time: Getting the horsepower as a future pro
“How many horses did you ride today?!”
Just like with any other career or passion you pursue, if you want to be a great rider or a successful professional you have to hone your craft and become an incredibly good rider.
Not only will more saddle time give you the skills, confidence, and maybe even the competition record you need to be a great pro - it can also help you shape your interests and figure out which part of the industry you really want to pursue.
Plus, as riders we love any time we get to soak up in the saddle or even just at the barn! Barn time passes differently than time spent in class or at work…am I right?
I’m sharing tips I’ve learned during my path to pro, plus the knowledge from hundreds of industry experts (you won’t see these tips or stories shared publicly!). I want to help you get the horsepower and experience you need to chase your dreams - whatever they may be!
So what if I told you I could give you the tools to double your daily ride count?
In my workshop Increasing Your Saddle Time: Getting the Horsepower as a Future Pro, I’m sharing the tricks to the trade of getting more saddle time (without paying for more lessons or buying another horse - unless you want to 🙂).
In the workshop you’ll walk (or even a working walk) away with:
A clear plan you can use to double your daily ride count
How to sit on an unknown horse with confidence
Steps to building your foundation for future owners and investors
What our participants say…

Meet Your Instructor
Hi! I’m Dr. Emily Urban Cordeiro. Over a decade ago, I was that young adult who stood in front of my parents refusing to go to college in pursuit of my equestrian career goals and Olympic ambitions.
After the threat of being ‘financially cut off',’ I begrudgingly started my undergraduate at Penn State University. Fortunately, my riding goals did not stop as I continued to work off the expenses of two horses, compete, join collegiate teams (and making lifetime equine connections in the process)… even gaining European training experience with an Olympic eventer.
At the same time, something unexpected happened: I developed a strong passion for international agriculture development. Working to address some of the globe’s most critical hunger and poverty issues through agriculture gave me a sense fulfillment I had never imagined.
Fast forward a few years — with a PhD from Cornell University and a few years full-time (non-equine) industry experience — and I am now working independently as a corporate sustainability consultant while also running a successful training and teaching business.

So how did this happen?
Despite my non-equine career providing incredible experiences…experiences traveling around the globe working with food security projects; collaborating closely with top executives at multinational companies; facilitating incredible impact to improve the lives of smallholder farmers; pursing a rigorous PhD; etc…
While I had a great career trajectory, I still didn’t feel fully fulfilled related to my horse-related dreams and passions.
And this is when I started building my training/teaching business…simultaneous to having my full-time career.
Aspiring equine professionals often build their ‘mental model’ of going pro from our Olympians or from other big-time success stories. The fact is that there are so many different paths to go pro. The trick is aligning your skills and ambitions with market opportunities. We also have to acknowledge those who struggle and fail (we often don’t see these stories publicly!) to strategically avoid these pitfalls.
I can’t wait to be your guide and share this incredible information with you!
