“USEA does such an exceptional job creating opportunities for people to be involved in the sport and ensuring that quality education is accessible for riders and trainers. Ride iQ is on a similar mission, and we’re so excited to work with USEA on those initiatives! Ride iQ has several ECP-certified coaches featured on the app, and this year we’ll add to that roster and continue building out lesson programming that specifically caters to USEA members—it’s going to be great!” said Ride iQ founders Jessica and McKinsey Lux.

Ride iQ is a mobile app that allows riders to take on demand audio and video lessons from top coaches as they ride. Founded by event riders Kinsey and Jessica, as well as their mentor, Kyle Carter, Ride iQ makes quality coaching accessible, affordable, and diverse, giving eventers boundless choices of coaches and lessons to enjoy. In addition, Ride iQ has many lessons and “Ask- an- Expert” sessions in podcast form on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

“The USEA is happy to continue our partnership with Ride iQ in 2024. Ride iQ has created a platform for riders in all disciplines, including eventing, to receive top notch training by excellent professionals on their own time and in their own setting. Ride iQ allows athletes of all levels to expand their knowledge with top-class coaches, many of whom are USEA Eventing Coaches Program certified. We look forward to growing with this wonderful brand in the future and thank them for their commitment to our sport!” said USEA CEO Rob Burk.
