WASHINGTON, DC– FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The equestrian industry’s leading bookings platform and software services company STRIDER announces today a partnership with Ride iQ. Launched in 2021, Ride iQ is an audio-focused coaching platform for equestrians which offers on-demand instruction to its members with top professionals through a mobile app.

Through the popular StriderRewards program, STRIDER platform members will now enjoy special benefits from Ride iQ. In fall of 2021, the STRIDER Professional Development Webinar Series will continue with a Ride iQ co-produced webinar to focus on models for business success in the equestrian industry. This roundtable discussion will feature insights from top athletes and business leaders on how to run a professional boarding, training, and sales business as well as best practices for growth and sustainability.

“The inclusion of Ride iQ in StriderRewards enables better access to horse and rider development opportunities for our STRIDER membership,” says COO Natasha Sprengers-Levine. “To connect equestrians to the best options in horse sport and break down some of the barriers for access in the industry are among the key pillars of our mission here at STRIDER. We’re very excited to be working with the team at Ride iQ who have come up with a great way to provide remote, on-demand access to quality instruction.”

“We are so excited to be partnering with Strider! Strider and Ride iQ both increase access to the best coaches in the world and in doing so are helping elevate equestrian performances and partnerships,” says Jessa Lux, Co-Founder of Ride iQ.

“Strider has improved and streamlined the whole experience of hosting and attending equestrian events, and Ride iQ has changed how people approach independent schooling. Given how compatible our missions are, we’re really hopeful our partnership with Strider continues to grow and evolve,” Lux adds.
