Equine Performance Training (EPT) was founded with a clear vision: to help equine athletes achieve their full potential through science-backed performance solutions and data-driven strategies.

Drawing on my experience in show jumping and working with racehorses, I have dedicated the last eight years to researching and implementing performance and welfare strategies for competition horses.

My journey began in 2016 when, as a young rider, a challenging horse arrived at my barn with the goal of being trained to compete in the indoor season. After successfully working with several horses, this one was the first to truly challenge me. None of the training exercises that had always been effective with other horses seemed to yield any results. The horse wasn’t improving; it always seemed “behind” and struggled to complete a course, despite having all the right qualities (as evidenced by its impressive record of results).

After the vet ruled out any injuries, I found myself with few answers in my search for solutions. I turned to research, consulting books, trainers, and forums, but was overwhelmed by a flood of conflicting advice and methods, often without clear guidance.

Determined to find a solution, I decided to return to the fundamentals, diving into the study of equine anatomy, biomechanics and exercise physiology. This sparked a deep passion for understanding how the equine body works particularly during training, making it a turning point into using a Polar HR device for the first time in 2017 I began applying my new knowledge in practice.
