Emily Blaker

Rider Performance Sessions with physical therapist and equestrian coach Emily Blaker, PT, DPT focus on how your body influences what happens in the saddle—for both you and your horse. Sessions address rider position, balance, coordination of the aids, timing, and movement patterns while riding, helping you become a more effective, independent rider.

I founded Ferris Equine Performance Solutions after recognizing a gap in equestrian training. Riders invest in quality instruction, saddle fitting, veterinary care, chiropractic treatment, and bodywork for their horses, yet the rider's own mobility, strength, and movement are often overlooked. Because horse and rider function as one system, limitations in either can influence comfort, communication, and performance.

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, equine bodyworker, and lifelong equestrian, I combine evidence-based movement analysis with practical coaching to help riders move better, communicate more clearly, and develop a stronger partnership with their horse.

These sessions are appropriate for riders of all disciplines, experience levels, and ages.
