"Megan is amazing at what she does. She takes the time to understand you, your strengths and weakness and the discipline you ride. She approaches every session with passion, dedication and a true caring for her clients where it truly becomes a safe space. Her attention to detail, both in your riding and in the gym should not go unnoticed. Her team of professionals, as well as herself are a constant pleasure to work with. If you are serious about improving your riding, whether competitively or for your enjoyment, Megan and Halt Square Rider Performance are a great place to start."
Anne, Dressage
"I have been training with Megan for 5 weeks and the results are amazing! I have worked out for years…Pilates, personal trainers and online. These programs were helpful but Megan’s customized program has been much more effective. My right hip soreness has disappeared, my hip flexors don’t ache, my left foot is so much straighter and my right elbow rarely wings out anymore! Megan’s big differences from other programs that I have tried are: She watches you ride and diagnoses imbalances/weaknesses, she develops a customized program to address these imbalances and your personal goals, and she carefully supervises and corrects your form during training. Megan focuses on all the details so you create new muscle memory and the strength and balance that translates to improved riding and any athletic endeavour."
Barbara, Dressage
"I feel so fortunate to be working with Megan and to be under her guidance on my fitness journey. Megan uses what I would describe as a micro-focused approach, zeroing in in great detail on the strengths and challenges of her clients. Her inventive and evolving exercises, her patience, and her attention to correct form (no cheating!) have had an enormous impact on my own strength, my stability, and the quality of my riding. I would never have believed I could see so much improvement in such a short period of time. Megan, I thank you - and my horse thanks you!"
Rowan, Dressage
“Meg has been a great fitness coach to me for about the past year now. She is present and provides confidence without being overwhelming. She understands the challenges with horses and gives many alternatives to help you meet your goals. She’s been very flexible with me regarding my strict schedule and keeps me motivated. I look forward to continuing our training together to better my fitness and awareness in the saddle. Can’t recommend enough!”
Jessica, Barrel Racing
“I can’t say enough good things about Megan!! She helped me discover areas of weakness and pain that weren’t just affecting my riding but my day to day life. She continually evaluated and evolved my training plan to ensure my body was working to its highest capability. Through constant assessments on the ground and riding Megan develops an individualized program to best suit you and push you. I can’t thank Megan enough for her help and support she’s given me”
Tracy, Dressage
“Working with Megan has not only been full of laughs, but I can’t even begin to describe how much my riding has improved! My strength and balance are so much better and when I come back from vacation, I pick up where I left off, instead of sliding backwards and having to catch back up. Megan’s attention to detail is incredible - she makes sure you are doing every exercise perfectly (no cheating!). She’s encouraging, tough… and did I mention the laughter!”
Derek, Jumper
“Absolutely incredible experience with Megan. I had some injuries from sports and through her training and direction I was able to recover and take my training to the next level. I am beyond thankful and impressed with her work. 10/10 would recommend for all athletes wanting to take their training to the highest levels.”
Leslie, Dressage
“Megan's knowledge and experience as a personal trainer and as an equestrian are invaluable. She understands the demands and challenges on both sides and can uniquely target our workouts to improve my weak areas as a rider. Exercises and routines are individually targeted to each athlete...and are revisited and refreshed monthly. Look forward to every work out, they're fun, challenging ...and they work! ....my position and effectiveness as a rider are improving with each workout. I feel it....and my horses feel it too!”
Cathy, Dressage
“Meg was recommended to me and during our very first session I quickly realized how good she is! She has taught me so much - helping me build the strength and awareness that is improving my riding significantly. I look forward to every session - her motivation, attention to detail (she doesn’t miss a thing!) and fun personality are highlights of my week and have now become so important to me in my overall training program. I highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about being the best they can be for their horse. Thank you Meg!”
Mike, Jumper
“Megan has a terrific eye for detail. She is very positive, yet pushes you to challenge yourself. I felt an immediate difference when I rode after Megan identified what would help my position on my horse. She will definitely be able to make an improvement in your body awareness and stability”.
