"I was a skeptic before starting DRT1. I wasn’t sure how much I would get out of an online program and was hesitant to spend the money.

But WOW, it was worth every cent!

My fitness, balance and strength in the saddle has improved significantly.

Thank you Nicola for creating DRT – the positive reviews were right and it was money well spent!"

My name is Nicola Smith. I am a personal trainer & wellness coach who also LOVES dressage.

I've applied my knowledge in biomechanics & scientific core training to help fix the specific issues that dressage riders face. 

My passion for dressage is what led me to create the Dressage Rider Training guide & website, applying what I know about human health and wellbeing to the dressage athlete. As a rider myself, I understand your needs as a dressage athlete.

We spend so much time training our horse that often we forget about ourselves. YOU are just as much a part of the team as your horse, so you want to make yourself strong, supple & engaged.

Don't let it be you that is holding your team back!
