WHAT IS RIB?
Rider In Balance – A Healthier Future for Equestrian Sports
Rider In Balance (RIB) was founded by veterinarian and researcher Maria Terese Engell, driven by a vision to create a healthier and more sustainable future for equestrian sports.
Our philosophy is simple: performance should never come at the expense of health and welfare. True, lasting results happen when rider and horse work in harmony.
For years, Maria Terese has been invited to train top riders worldwide who have discovered that the RIB philosophy adds a whole new dimension to their training. Today, she is recognized as one of the world’s leading researchers in horse–rider interaction.
Join the movement. Train smarter. Ride better. Build a sustainable future for both you and your horse.
