What is Stable Riding?

Stable Riding is a complete riding system for beginners to advanced riders, designed from the ground up for real-world riding—not just for competition or show.

At the heart of Stable Riding are four essential factors that apply to every position, at every gait. No matter what type of riding, saddle, or horse breed you choose, Stable Riding founder and trainer Solange Ellis can help you achieve the stability you need.

Unlike past systems that focused primarily on a single discipline, Stable Riding is for everyone. It’s proven to reduce pain, falls, and injuries while boosting confidence. Solange is on a mission to make riders more stable and safer, however they ride.

“Solange’s methods are – most importantly – EFFECTIVE!”

Krista, Mongol Derby rider, 2022

“Solange is an expert in her craft no matter what your goal is. I will be continuing my horse journey with her and have nothing but positive things to say about her and her coaching.”

Susie, Adventure Rider

“For something like horseback riding, you’d think virtual sessions wouldn’t work. However, Solange has a special talent of assessing riding skills by sight from the videos I sent her. She also has a unique ability to explain in an executable way, the focus to develop skills.”

Phillip, Virtual Student 2023
