Save time
Simplify your everyday life as a rider! In Ridesum you can easily see your trainers available time slots, book, train and follow your progress – all in one place.
With digital training you can train anywhere, anytime and the risk of injures to the horse is reduced with less travelling. And at the same time minimizing the effects on the environment.
Save money
Save money on less travel, fees for riding paddock and increased flexibility. In our trainer and expert pool you find trainers that suit you in both competence level and price range.
Progress faster
Regular training sessions for a trainer are an important success factor for developing as an equipage. With the trainer’s help more often, both you and your horse perform better!
With Rider Premium you record your digital Ridesum training and can easily go back, watch and repeat which leads to increased learning.
With Ridesum I can train regularly despite the long distance between me and my trainer, the image quality is so good that it feels like she’s here! The fact that I can train at home and therefore have time to train in the morning before work is also a big plus!

Warm-up and walk the course
Riders often want to bring their trainer to warm-up before a competition, but it can be time consuming and expensive. Many of our users are therefore coached digitally via Ridesum and receive coaching from their trainer when in warm-up before a competition. This way you get the mental support you need and the trainer does not have to spend time traveling. When jumping, you can also walk the course with your jumper trainer remotely and get valuable advice.
Test riding horses for sale
When test riding horses for sale, it is valuable to have someone experienced watching. However, it can be difficult for the trainer to go with students on test rides far away. Use Ridesum and bring the trainer digitally! The trainer sees live how you and the horse interact, can tell you which movements / exercises you should test. And you can have a dialogue about how it feels and looks while you are sitting on the horse’s back.
