Riding On Purpose and Vicki Borrelli has moved its location from Colorado to Florida. 


Specializing in educating riders and their horses proper biomechanics,  kinematics and connection while riding or on the ground.

 

What separates Vicki from other trainer/instructors is her varied background from main ring showing Arabians and Morgans to Sporthorse, Open Dressage and Eventing, very successfully, with her group of amateur riders following suit.


  In depth study with years of  training and education in horse kinematics and proper biomechanics that she is willing to share and teach her students to make them their horses best advocate. 


Focusing on the student learning how to educate their eye, and devise strategies to help them when they are schooling alone, whether they be riding, lunging or in hand work.

Whether you are just starting out with horses or a seasoned competitor, I offer: 


  • FOR YOU: An eye on the ground. Validation that you are on the right track with tools to refine further, or redirection in a positive way that suits you and your horse. Help with anxiety and confidence issues. Tools to make you more aware of what your horse is telling you, and creating dialog instead of demand. Proper body alignment and awareness. How to properly lunge or work a horse in hand.


  • For YOUR HORSE: Evaluation of his gaits, with gymnastics to help strengthen any kinematic weakness, whether that be in hand, lunging or under saddle. Energy work as requested.


Call or email today! I am looking forward to meeting you and helping your dreams come true!

    I started working with Vicki Borrelli and  Riding on Purpose the summer of 2016. From the beginning Vicki always  had a great sense of humor that put me at ease.  Maverick had fractured  his pelvis as a 3 year old, after several years as a pasture decoration,  the vet said it would not hurt to begin riding him again.  Vicki  introduced us to the Science of Motion, that helped Maverick learn to  use himself better. Working steadily with Vicki , Maverick could walk  with hardly any limp at all.  While we were working with Maverick, Vicki  was also working with me, building my confidence, and improving how I  sat on Maverick.  During the years we  worked together, Maverick and I created a stronger bond and mutual  respect for each other.  I felt comfortable taking him out of the arena  and on a few trail rides with friends. I even became confident enough to  ride bareback again, something I hadn't done since I was a teenager.   Vicki trained with knowledge, skill, and a great sense of humor.   Although Maverick is still in Colorado and I have moved to Florida, I  look forward to continuing my work with Vicki to help me maintain the  skills she has taught me.  In addition to that I am glad that I still  have a horse friend nearby, when I start to missing my four-legged  friends. 

     Lisa Robinson, Gilmanton NH/Ocala FL: 

     I knew Vicki in another life when we were both training Arabians  in NH way long ago. We reconnected here in Ocala and caught up on our respective journeys into lifelong learning. During those years  we explored many methods of empathetic interaction with horses, delved into dressage, the science of movement and soundness, compassionate training and more. I found Vicki to have incredible depth of knowledge, coupled with her innate ability to connect and teach softly and effectively. I was acquiring scores for my bronze medal this winter and Vicki came to my aid as groom and coach. She has a tremendous eye and can see the slightest asymmetry or imbalance. Her coaching was invaluable to prepare me before my tests and she also quietly coached along with video. Her lessons on body position and how the most subtle change can make a  positive improvement in your communication are also enlightening.   Vicki is an excellent instructor, coach, rider and trainer and I highly recommend her to you if you are truly interested in an honest assessment of your riding and are receptive to learning new things in new ways. 

      Martha Geisshuesler,  Castle Rock CO:  

    Vicki Borelli is the best horse and rider trainer I have ever had. She  taught me to ride the science of motion way on a barely started 4 year  old and a more mature horse. We (my horses and I) loved the way she  teaches and treated us. I drove about an hour each way for lessons and  it was worth it. Vicki also trained and took care of  my young horse for about a month and when I took her home she was a  much better partner for me. What I also really appreciated during the  time my baby was at her place were her almost daily updates including  comments on her riding and progress. We miss  Vicki but have started to do remote learning. I send her videos (Pivo)  of my rides and send them to her with questions. She watches them and  sends her comments back to me by email. Although in-person lessons  provide more instant feedback, there is something very positive about  getting a written feedback and watching the videos again afterwards. We  love it and learn a lot. I can highly  recommend Vicki Borelli. Not only is she one of a few knowledgeable  science of motion trainers in the world, she’s also a very personable  and professional trainer and consultant. Training with Vicki will be the  best decision you’ve ever made.  

     Sarah Fowles, Port St Lucie, FL :  

     I  have participated in numerous training sessions with Vicki.  During our  sessions, Vicki is dedicated to improvement through horse/human  communication accomplished utilizing techniques which focus on  alignment, form, balance and redirection.  Our  sessions have greatly helped both Jordan B and I improve in our lateral  work, strength, footing and stability. In addition to her instruction  in the arena, Vicki  has integrated audiovisual equipment which have  proven invaluable for review immediately after lessons and when  practicing on my own. Highly recommended without reservation! .

    Michelle Gutmann, Colorado Springs CO:

    I took a Level 1 and Level 2 Animal Reiki Course  with Vicki Borrelli in the fall of 2014, I found it very helpful and I  have practiced with animals since learning it.  It then occurred to me  how I would love to take horseback  riding lessons again with Vicki (I had not ridden or competed on horses  for thirty something years).  So I started riding lessons with Vicki on  her lesson horse and continued to take lessons with her

    until she moved, so for almost 7 years.  Although,  I still had muscle memory from riding so many years ago, dressage was  completely new to me.  She was great at explaining a concept in two or  three different ways to help me comprehend it. If I was really lost at  understanding it,

    she would visually  demonstrate it, which sometimes required getting up on the horse  herself.  She made sure that “you got it” in whatever method she needed  to get it across to her rider.  Vicki, herself was always learning from other professionals to improve her own riding and passing on that new knowledge to her own lesson riders. I  often would tend to overarch my low back area, but I was able to  correct that by the different cues she would give me.  She was great at  using various cues to help the rider get the entire line of the body  correct on the horse. 

    Often, I would  get too tense in my upper body and my shoulders would rise too high, by  being told to spread my scapulas apart and down, I was easier on the  horse’s mouth and able to reduce that tension.

    If  we attended the same clinic she was always open to answering my  questions while trying to learn from watching/listening to the clinician  teaching the student. She  gave me many tools: such as always paying attention to where and how  your sitz bones feel at all times in the saddle, where/how are you  engaging in your inner thighs, the bodily sequence needed for a proper  lead change, etc. I  was always learning and always being giving new tools on how to improve  my riding and she was always challenging me at an appropriate pace.
