Why train on a simulator?
Blue is a high-tech, life-size horse that allows riders to experience realistic dressage, jumping, and cross-country scenarios without the unpredictability of a live horse. She can perform Grand Prix-level dressage movements and jump up to 1.20m.

- Seat balance
- Leg cues
- Body asymmetries

Use of tools like Franklin balls, resistance bands, and hands-on adjustments.
Zero distractions or safety concerns, so you can focus on your body and the feel.
Data-informed instruction via Blue's sensor readouts on live monitors.
Riders often leave with home exercises, video feedback, and actionable takeaways to improve their performance both in and out of the saddle.
“This weekend I had multiple lessons with Kendra on the simulator Blue and it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made."
"Game changer! Life changing! Kendra’s client centered approach started where I was and through exploration, feedback and guidance Kendra was with me every step of the way as we worked together to find small adjustments that had huge impacts in my riding both physically and mentally.
She is what I’ve been looking for in an instructor for a long time. Her extensive knowledge of horse and rider biomechanics is amazing both on and off horse! She gave me at home exercises tailored for what I need.
What I learned this weekend has been far more valuable to me than any other lessons I’ve ever had. I could feel her passion for this work in every lesson. I’m am just so grateful to have had this experience and will be looking forward to many more! Lots of stories shared and great laughs had as well which made it even better!!”

faqs
What can Blue do?
Blue knows all of the Grand Prix dressage moves, jumps up to 1.20m cross country and stadium, and doesn't spook, buck, trip, or any unexpected antics! She also has countless sensors to measure rein pressure, seat imbalances, leg pressure, and many other factors a rider puts on their horse.
What challenges can Blue help with?
Blue helps riders to realize where their bodies are and, with the help of Kendr, find the new positions while seeing measurable live feedback on one to three screens. This includes but is not limited to challenges in hips, ribs, jumping position, steering, and so much more.
Blue also helps with confidence or nervous system injuries, whether it is learning something new, gaining confidence in something already known, or healing from an accident. Kendra is able to completely control Blue, allowing riders to focus on themselves and what they are feeling in their emotions and body.
Riders can gain strength on Blue like they may not be able to on a horse. Blue can jump an endless gymnastic line without getting tired, allowing the rider to feel consistent and work on jumping position without the worry of riding the perfect distance. Blue has many jump settings that can work on distances as well as steering to jumps.
What tools does Kendra use with Blue?
Because there isn't a concern for a horse spooking, Kendra's ideas feel limitless! Kendra utilizes Franklin Method balls, bands, various tools found or made by Kendra, and she can touch and hold body parts, which is especially useful in the canter and jumping, where that normally cannot be done.
Where is Blue located and does she travel?
Blue is located in Kitnersville, PA and she does not travel. If you train in the Wellington, FL area, check out our friend Danielle at Precision Strides and her Racewood Simulator.
can my trainer come?
Absolutely! Workshops can be scheduled for a specific trainer and their clients, allowing your trainer to learn what their students need and help carry the ideas and feelings learned back to the arena on a horse. Trainers and students are encouraged to bring videos of their riding on an actual horse so that Kendra can see the full scope of a challenge.
Are there any limitations for riders?
All lessons must be canceled at least 24 hours in advance. Under 24 hours cancellation results in no refund and the lesson must be paid in full if not prepaid. Workshops of 3+ people must be canceled 1 week prior to the scheduled day. Any cancellations under 1 week are non-refundable/must be paid in full. Exceptions made at the discretion of KCE. Weather cancellations: in the event of a storm that risks losing power, lessons will be canceled and refunded or may be rescheduled.
lesson pricing & packages
ESDCTA and LVDA members receive a $10 discount per lesson. Lesson packages are available, and an extra lesson is added to lesson packages if paid for within 48 hours of your first lesson.
Simulator Lesson Scholarship application
I believe everyone should have access to the benefits of equestrian simulator training, regardless of financial circumstances. If the cost of lessons is a barrier, I offer a scholarship fund to help cover the cost of simulator sessions. Scholarships are granted on a case-by-case basis and are determined by individual need.
