R.I.T.E. SYSTEM for your horse
Training your horse should feel good—for both of you.
The RITE System helps you create a calm, confident, and connected partnership using clear rewards, simple steps, and a whole lot of heart.
This isn’t about controlling your horse—it’s about learning how to
understand them.
Is Your Horse Trying to Tell You Something?
If your horse is:
-Spooking or bolting
-Resisting your cues
-Shutting down or tuning you out
-Acting too sensitive—or not responding at all
…it’s not because they’re being “bad.” They’re confused. And they’re doing their best to make sense of what you’re asking. The RITE System helps you learn how to listen—and gives your horse a way to feel seen, safe, and successful.
What Makes the RITE System Different?
Most training methods use pressure and release, and depend on having a coach beside you at all times. That can lead to stress, confusion, and a horse who just “puts up with” training instead of enjoying it.
The RITE System is different. We believe in partnership, not power struggles. We believe in making training feel clear, kind, and connected. And we believe that
you can learn how to be your horse’s trainer—not just a passenger waiting for help.
What You’ll Learn in the RITE System:
How to use your voice as a reward marker (no clicker needed)How to load that marker with value so your horse actually understands itHow to read your horse’s movement and mindset to figure out where to startHow to break things down into small, winnable steps that build trust and joyHow to use repetition and reward to create real change. You’ll build habits that stick, and your horse will start showing up more willing, more relaxed, and more tuned in.
Who This Is For:
The RITE System is made for:
-Adult amateur riders who want to train with their horse, not at their horse
-Riders who feel stuck, frustrated, or confused—and want a better way
-Horse lovers who want to build trust through kindness, not force
-Trainers who want a clear and ethical system for helping their students
-Anyone who wants to learn to solve problems on their own without waiting for the next lesson
Why It Works:
When you train the RITE way, your horse:
-Understands what you’re asking
-Feels safe and motivated to respond
-Gains confidence through success
-Feels good about showing up for you
And you become the rider they trust. You’ll know what to do, when to reward, and how to keep things progressing—whether you’re on the ground or in the saddle.
Let’s Bring the Joy Back to Training
The RITE System gives you tools to create training sessions that feel fun, fulfilling, and full of “yes” moments—for you and your horse. Because riding should feel like a conversation—not a constant correction. Because your horse deserves to feel understood. And because you deserve to feel confident, clear, and capable—every ride.
R.I.T.E. SYSTEM for RIDERS
The RITE System isn’t just for horses—it’s for riders too. Because no matter how much you know, it’s hard to enjoy the ride when fear or self-doubt takes over.
I’ve worked with hundreds of riders who had the skills, but still felt stuck. They second-guessed themselves every time they got in the saddle. They froze when their horse spooked. They felt like they were walking on eggshells—worried about messing up or not being good enough. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. You just haven’t been taught how to train your mind the same way you train your horse.
That’s why I created the Confident Rider Method, a rider-focused part of the RITE System. It gives you simple tools to quiet your nerves, focus your thoughts, and feel more present and grounded when you ride. It’s not about pretending you’re not afraid. It’s about learning how to work with your body and your brain so fear doesn’t take over.
You’ll learn how to calm yourself before a ride, how to shift your thinking in the moment, and how to build daily habits that grow real confidence over time. You’ll also learn how your energy and emotions affect your horse—and how to show up in a way that helps them feel safer and more connected to you.
We run the Confident Rider Method as a 4-week online program that includes weekly Zoom calls, Q&A support, a printable workbook, and access to our private rider community. You’ll also get full access to the Silverfox Virtual Stable for the month, with mindset videos, riding tips, and bonus lessons to support your growth.
Confidence isn’t magic—it’s a method. And once you learn how to use it, everything gets easier. You feel more grounded. Your horse starts to relax. And riding starts to feel like something you look forward to again—not something you need to survive.
If you’re ready to ride with more clarity, calm, and joy, you’re in the right place. Let’s build your confidence—together.
Testimonials
I love that lessons are always a dialogue and I learn so much from being able ask questions. Kristi has a wealth of knowledge that she’s more than happy to share, and I love that I can watch other people’s lessons and learn even more.

As a woman in my 40’s (who doesn’t want to get hurt)I feel safe riding with Marianne and Kristi because they know their horses, they know how to properly teach, they understand horses and how they move, they're very good at explaining what you need to do.
MALISSA R.
My goals are big and sometimes it’s frustrating for me if I feel like I’m not going anywhere with it yet. However the lessons here helped me to understand that sometimes we need to take smaller steps in order to achieve the bigger ones.
