Ride Ready Assessment

Thoughtful insight for riders
who listen closely.

A calm, experience-based review of how your horse is coping with work, recovery, and consistency — designed to help you decide what matters next.

Noticing comes before knowing.

Ride-Ready™ Protocol Review

Stop Guessing. Get a Clear Plan You Can Trust.

Most riders aren’t doing things wrong. They’re just buried under opinions. This is a one-page review of your horse’s current care routine with three outcomes: Keep what works, Change what matters, and Watch what comes next.

One page No brand bias Experience-based

This is guidance for day-to-day decisions, not veterinary diagnosis or medical treatment.

How it works

You answer a short set of questions about your horse’s workload, routine, and current concerns. We filter the noise and send back a focused review that makes your next steps obvious.

If you’re already using quality products that fit your horse, we leave them in place. If Draw It Out® fits naturally alongside what you’re doing, we may mention it. If we don’t have the right fit, we’ll point you elsewhere.

Start your review

Answer honestly. One horse per submission. Payment is collected after review approval so this stays personal and intentional.

After submission, we’ll review your request and send a secure payment link to get started.

Draw It Out® provides experience-based guidance only. Always consult your veterinarian for medical concerns.

Who This Is For

Ride Ready Assessments are for riders who pay attention. Riders who feel something has shifted, even if they cannot yet name it.

This is not only for injured horses. It is for working horses whose workload, recovery, or consistency no longer feel aligned.

If you are looking for certainty, this may not be the right step. If you are listening closely to your horse, it usually is.

What We Use to Assess

Our assessments are built from context and pattern recognition, not single data points or isolated symptoms.

  • Workload and recent changes
  • Consistency versus spikes in effort
  • Recovery between rides
  • Movement symmetry and behavior over time
  • Rider observation and instinct

You do not need perfect answers. Honest observation matters more than precision.

How We Assess

Ride Ready Assessments are built from observation and pattern recognition. We do not score horses. We read them.

Every review looks at two things side by side: how the body is coping with its workload, and how the horse is mentally responding to that effort.

Physical Read

Reflects how the body is handling work and recovery over time.

Green Movement is free. Recovery matches demand.
Yellow Early tightness. Warms out, but feedback is consistent.
Orange Comfort is influencing movement, not yet limiting work.
Red Discomfort is limiting performance or recovery.

Mental Read

Reflects willingness, honesty, and behavioral response.

Green Willing. Engaged. Still offering effort.
Yellow Subtle resistance or guarded behavior.
Orange Noticeable avoidance or protection.
Red Refusal, shutdown, or inability to do the job asked.

Most horses we review are not failing. They are asking for better alignment.

These assessments are experience-based guidance designed to support thoughtful decisions, not replace veterinary care.

What You’ll Get Back

Every Ride Ready Assessment is reviewed by a human. There are no automated scores and no generic responses.

  • A written Physical and Mental Read
  • Clear interpretation of the patterns we see
  • Guidance on where to focus next
  • Perspective on whether escalation is appropriate

The goal is clarity, not urgency.

What This Is Not

  • Not a veterinary diagnosis
  • Not emergency or crisis care
  • Not a guarantee or performance promise
  • Not a replacement for professional evaluation

This is experience-based guidance designed to support thoughtful decisions.

Common Reasons Riders Request a Review

  • Something feels off, but nothing is obvious
  • Performance has changed without a clear injury
  • Recovery no longer matches workload
  • Behavior has shifted subtly over time
  • A desire to be proactive, not reactive

These are not red flags. They are usually early signals.

Before You Submit

You do not need perfect language or complete certainty.

If you are unsure how to answer a question, answer honestly anyway.

If you are reading this page carefully, your horse likely belongs here.
